After getting my #1 carb float post repaired I figured I'd re-install them.
It had a low end stutter that I could not get out. So I removed all of the needles from the slides and found that It had 2 different sets between 1/2 & 3/4 and also different main jets 115's on 1/4 and 120's on 2/3.
I finally found the problem today looking at the needles. When I got the bike it looked like it had a fire in the airbox which burned it up some along with 2 of the air to carb boots. When I removed the needles I found #3 had melted the clip into the plastic spacer/keeper 1.3mm and made it run leaner on that cylinder.
I figure the needles may be original as it's only got 5kmi on the clock but got swapped around by the PO. I cant find any thing saying that it had different needles. Only different main jets.
My question is which needles in which carbs? I have 2-5IZ7's and 2-5GL16's.
Looking at this needle spec sheet(thanks 3Phase) They are a little different in length and taper. Needle Specs
Any thoughts ?
