    One needle valve seat different than others... issue? Pics included

    85 1150
    Three carbs have one seat assembly, one carb has a slightly different one. I only wonder if it will be an issue because it is about 1mm higher than the others when in place.

    Pics:
    3/4 seats with needle (normal)


    1/4 seat w/needle


    Seat comparison in carbs


    Seat comparison out of carbs



    As you can see, the needle is "lower" w/ respect to the top of the seat assembly, but it is at the same height as the other three float needles. As long as my float heights are good will I be fine or is this something that will cause issues?
    Any advice help is appreciated.

    As long as the springy plunger at the top of the needle valve is still "springy" and you are able to make the float height within specs you should be good.

      Check also the fuel height while the engine is idling to make sure they are all at the same level.
