    Carb Tuning Washers

    Anyone have a good source of these? Maybe I'll get a box of 1000 & sell them for a buck for 20 or something

    Need to have a play with the needles & pilots on my mates 750. Keeps crapping out at the lights in the hot weather
    Think it's a little rich, I don't think it has any spacers on top of the E clip at the moment so the needle is probably up 3 or 4 steps.

    Hey Dan,

    I have some washers. One more reason we need to hook up.

    To measure is to know.

      Ok Ed, cool thanks.

      I reckon I'll be able to get the needles out of the carbs without pulling them I'm sure like I've done on my 1000G plenty of times... only takes 20mins or so doing it that way.

      Looking like Saturday for riding - looks like the crest will be smoked out so we should head South to OC somewhere...

        RapidRay sent me to Radio Shack for washers, they sell washers in an assortment pack of 20 of each of the 5 sizes or so.. The smallest washer in that bag is a perfect fit for needles. The bag is under $2.

        Also if you have one in your are goto a RC dealer, not like toys r us but a big one and they have drawers of tiny washers and orings.

            I got washers from a good hardware store that carries lots of hardware, not a home store.
