    thank you

    Take the top off the carb & pull the slide out the top. Remove the circlip down inside the Well of the slide with some long circlip pliers & the plastic bit, needle, spring etc will come straight out.

    Yours may not have notches if they are emission controlled... you may have to use washers as a shim.

      as you remove the circlip, push the needle slowly from underneath so you can see the position of all the little bits, should help re-assembly

      putting the circlip back in can be a bit of a pita so excercise patience

          use long nose (internal) circlip pliers

          a pair of standard long nose needle pliers should work as well

          get the right tool as you're dealing with delicate parts

          if you are in the usa - you'll need to use small thin washers to shim the needle
          if you are outside of the usa the needle is going to be grooved, with a removable circlip

            "a pair of standard long nose needle pliers should work as well"

            They work fine. I even ground mine down slightly to be more pointed and slightly bent them in towards each other and it works like a charm.
