Anyone have stock carb needle pic or description???

[fmcandrew]

Pulled my needle jet as I'm running lean, the nylon stoper has 2 washers between it and the c-clip, needle is stock 5ez43. Cant find pic or description, service manual pic blows!! One washer is same diameter as nylon stoper, other one is tiny.:ummm::ummm:

Thanks guys,

Frank

Cant get to that linked sticky, says i dont have access????

Maxmidnight, does the washer sit on top of the c-clip?? Top pic only shows needle and clip

Thanks for the fast responses...

Got to the sticky, i guess i need a diagram of how the stock needle set goes into the diaphram...all the pieces...i have no idea what PO did...

Thanks

The large washer goes on top of the e clip

Thank you Rhoy! Looks like PO shimmed with both the washer that belongs on the clip and another tiny washer...no wounder i'm running lean after the K&N and exhaust deflector mod. A/F screws were all 3 turns out, reset to 2.5, hopefully that will put me back rich, better rich than too lean...

the tiny washer goes under the e clip on top of the plastic piece, the larger washer is there for the spring to rest on to hold the needle stationary.

2 1/2 will put you leaner than 3 turns of the A/F screws.

Yeah...I know...so feeling a little dumb at the moment:bang head::bang head::bang head:, but I think i've nailed down the issue. My 2 front plugs showed lean, but the 2 rear show rich (kinda didn't do the due dilligence I should have as I only pulled the front 2 plugs and figured they were all the same...ooops:damn angry. Everything I'm looking at says it should be rich and would account for my choke not working well (more rich). With 2 washer shims on the needles and 3 turns out on the a/f screw all cylinders should be rich...but not true. I yanked all the needles and they were identical. Of course something needed to explain the leaness in the 2 front jugs...there are tiny holes in the diaphrams, but only on the 2 front carbs...I'm guessing that is my issue...but I'd like some input from the carb experts. Also...need new diaphrams (might as well replace all 4). Did the shotgun whilst I was in there...

If you have holes in the diaphrams, they will need repaired or better yet, replaced. I would say that's why you are showing lean on the front 2 plugs...diaphrams are probably pulling late with the holes, compared to the back 2.

The washer goes on top of the E-Clip. Any shims that you may be using (if needed) sit between the plastic spacer and the E-Clip

Yeah...the PO used that washer in the pic above as a shim along with another smaller washer...thanks for the pic and description...after i verify I've fixed my diaphram issue I'll probably go back to stock and access from there...
