How do you raise the needle??

[Anonymous]

Hi, I am working on my 82' gs850l, the needle is running real lean. How do I richen the needle? I have always thought you put washers under the needle, but after viewing the c.v. slide, this idea dosnt make any sence because the needle is held from going up by the plastic peice and the c-clip, and help up by the spring.... So exactly how do you richen the needle? thanks!-darren

Edit- I'm used to just an adjustment of an eclip but there is only one slot for the clip, I have found this is normal for stock needles.

You don't.

for tuning CV carbs. Start with the main jets and work your way down.

To adjust the needles... you'll need to get a bunch of washers to replace the plastic spacer and adjust the number of washers. Or you can get canadian needles.

Or a dynojet kit.

If you take one of your needles to a Radio Shack, they have these tiny little stainless steel washers that are for circuit board connections. They are super thin and will fit perfect.

My buddy Pillage learned this off the CB forums and jetted his Bandit that way.
