How to replace a needle on a HS carburettor


BTW: is it difficult to change needles? Never opened my carb before.
It's easy:

  1. remove the air filter
  2. undo the three screws that secure the dash pot
  3. remove dash pot
  4. pull off spring
  5. pull out piston (watch it, oil pures out if you turn it over)
  6. undo screw at side of the piston
  7. pull out old needle of the little thingie
  8. put in new needle
  9. the needle retainer (the little thingie) must be leveled to the surface of the piston.
  10. put everything together.
