Thanks Bryan. Looks like the 550f models and some F2 had the same needle jet but it's different to the K models.
As I have a Canada F1 the link from nrp I posted before won't work.

There was yes, that one came out easy. One was missing from the original carbs and 2 others unfortunately got damaged when I was trying to get them out because they were so corroded in there.
That would be great Mick. I'll send you a PM.

Is anyone able to tell me the difference between these needle jets. The ones in the carbs that came with the bike have 2 smaller holes at the top end and an extra singe hole on the side. The one that came in the replacement carb Mick sent me has 5 holes the same size and no single hole..
Edit..
I read on the sister site that Hondaman suggested drilling out the holes in the emulsion tubes to make them bigger. I could drill the 2 smaller holes to match the others then drill a single hole in the side of the other jet.
Playing with fire I guess and there would be no knowing what effect it would have until I could actually ride it... That said miss matching ones would probably be worse?

Carbs rebuilt and new coils and caps installed. I've ordered a thin walledI18mm socket to get plugs 2 and 3 out. Just need to find a fuse box as mine is missing.
