Carb Terminology

[KEITH KRAUSE]

Because this thread is about correct part terminology, the clip is actually called the "E"-clip. It even looks like a curved E.
CV equipped bikes in the US don't have adjustable jet needles and so, no e-clips. Canadian CV equipped models do have adjustable jet needles. So do European models (I think?).

Thanks Keith!

Actually they do have E-clips on the needles. There is generally a spacer under the clip, then a washer and spring above it.

Right you are. I was trying to mention correct terminology and you one upped me.
I was strictly thinking of adjustable jet needles. Since his needles aren't adjustable I somehow turned that into "no E-clip". Can't explain that...some kind of tunnel vision reasoning thingy? Or "a senior moment" as you called it awhile back.
You obviously have to have an E-clip to hold the needles position, even if the needle is fixed.
