Needle jet clip?
09/16/09 at 13:43:53

A couple of different people suggested moving the needle jet clip up one notch after installing a new muffler. I've got my carb off and disassembled and hell if I can't figure out a way to do anything with the needle jet clip, assuming I'm looking at the right thing. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

And quick - the dining room smells like gas and the wife is giving me the stink-eye.

Reply #1 - 09/16/09 at 13:48:47 Most of us don't have clips on our needle, nor do we have extra grooves on the needle for the non-existent clip to go into. Only the early Savages had grooved needles. Instead, we sand down our white spacer to remove half of it.

Reply #2 - 09/16/09 at 13:49:46 Someone else will be more knowledgeable about this than I am, but I believe the stock carb has the "white spacer" instead of the clip. To adjust for a richer fuel mix, you file down the thickness of the white spacer or replace it with #3 washers.

The previous owner did the white spacer mod - it looks like its been filed down to maybe 2mm. So I go up on the clip by reducing the white spacer? Should I trim it some more/replace it with a smaller one? Or just leave it out entirely? And thanks for the quick replies!

Reply #5 - 09/16/09 at 17:54:10 I have a needle jet like that (from the dynojet kit) and was advised to leave the white spacer in and use the clip for adjustments. I lowered the clip on mine (2 clicks = the width of the white spacer for me) it raises the needle up which is what removing the white spacer would do.
