Broken Idle Needle

Postby bonhomechristopher » Mon May 16, 2011 6:55 pm

I pulled my carbs again so I could set the float hight since it was causing problems. The idle needles have a cap with a stopper on it that comes in contact with the float bowl to prevent over adjusting but I don't want it on there because it gets in the way. A friend of mine told me that he just removes them. I tried very gently with a pair of pliers but the head broke off. I can still use it, I guess, but I would have to use pliers to adjust it. Does anyone know where I can get a SINGLE idle needle???
So...when will your bike be finished? Umm, never. It is an old bike, there's always gonna be something to do!
