[Spridgets] SU needle question

[Dave G.]

Frank,

Thanks for the reply...

Both sets of carbs have swing needles... and I'm sure their parts 
been swapped more times than Larry King has paid alimony !!  ;-)

Both types of needle/collar assemblies fit in anu of the  dashpots. 
But the pointed needle securing screw is ~1/8th inch longer so it has 
to be used with the collar that has the V-groove in it.

I'll see if I can match the pistons and dashpots using the method 
shown in John Twists' video and see if that makes any difference to 
the beast!..

Thanks for the input  ;-))   90*F++ for tomorrow!!

Nobody told me that until *after* I'd done it !!
