looking for some carb needles
Hey all, I'm looking for some 5D12 needles for the carbs on my 83 GS750E. I've kind of run out of options as Suzuki and Mikuni show them as not available. Does anyone here know of a place I can get some of these gems? My needles are very corroded for the first 1/2 inch or so under the slide. I was wondering if any other needles would work in this application? The still available 5Dl31 is close to the same profile, has anyone used them in their carbs? would a guy have to replace the needle jet as well? A little guidance would be VERY appreciated. I can get pics of the needles (seats are still in the carbs) if that helps. Thanks for any help on this oneTags: None

Are they corroded so badly that you can't simply polish them up a bit?
