Yes it's possible to remove the needles with the carbs in situ. You'd need a JIS screwdriver though to make sure the screws came undone.

You count from the top down BTW, in case you didn't know that.

I assume you count from the blunt end of the needle ie 2nd groove down from the top/blunt end?

Oddjob:
Correct Mike.

Thanks.I have the full set of JIS screwdrivers as well as the JIS bits for the impact driver. I don’t intend using the impact driver on the carbs however. I have had the carbs apart numerous times so Im reasonably familiar with the innards.not tried taking the slides out whilst in situ before, only on the bench. I will have a tinker tomorrow.
