[deathlucky]

hi
im thinking of doing a rejet but i dont really like the sounds of putting a washer under the needle so can u get a needle that can be adjusted with a clip or some thing

[MarkusN]

On the older European models the needle has five grooves for the e-clip. The newer ones are also adjusted with washers, far as i know.

Wrecent - put the washers above the plastic spacer. No real huge deal, but the slides are plastic, and metal against plastic is a bad combo. The white plastic spacer anyway can be replaced and when the needle spins its takes the whole shebang with it. So you wont have metal spinning against plastic anyway. but having metal on the bottom you may have metal spinning against plastic of the slide.
Cool.

All other countries got the 5 way adjustable needles that MarkusN describes - 5DH9

Nope. If I look into the documentation for the European models, 2000 and prior have a clip position mentioned, 2001 and later not. 2001 is when the new carb type was installed. So the newer models seem all to come with a non-adjustable needle.
