Which notch on the needle

(1/2) > >>

pastitpete:
Sorry for being a dufuss but the manual says 3rd notch on the needle in the carbs, but is that third from the top or third from the bottom ??? ???

K2-K6:
They are usually in a set of five, with centre notch being #3 whichever way they're counted.

I bought a set of aftermarket carb referb kits and the needles have 4 notches :-[, going to drop the needle by one notch as it's clearly running to rich. Guess we'll see if that works! I have also ordered a set of referb kit's from David Silver, so I might even change the needles over to these as they will probably be closer to OEM spec. Thanks for answering

At least it should give you a new reference from which you can work and form more experience, then to judge if it's effective.

Welcome to the forum too  :)
