that is a nice kit,simple too,i just oredered a heli-coil kit the thread is 12-28 for a squirter and the fuel bowl is a 12-24 thread.what is the purpose of the needle under the squirter?should it be loose when squirter is tightened in ?as in it would rattle if carb is shaken?thanks again guys



It has to have room to raise up a small amount to let gas up past the needle. It's purpose is to seat when you let off the throttle to make the accelerator pump cavity pull gas from the bowl to refill the cavity with gas instead of pulling air back through the squirter into the pump cavity, which it will do. I've seen guy's scratching their heads when they left it out.
