Title: WTB- Float needles
Post by: ATLRIDER on May 30, 2008, 09:34:43 PM
Hey guys,

Anyone have a couple of good float needles? Just tore the rubber tip on one while cleaning :mad:

Part#33

Thanks.

Edit:  Just need the needle and not the whole assembly.

Yea, $5 and mailing ($2 - Freaking thing is $1.17 or $0.85 and envelope is $0.40)... BTW suzuki used 2 slightly different styles of float needles from year to year, send me a pic, I'll send you the one that might match.
I think you're buying a whole carb in bits and pieces dude ... just cut out all the mailing and buy a carb ...  :laugh: or maybe stop wrenching ... cheaper to have a professional with a light tough do these htings in some cases.
Cool.

Yeah, next thing ya know I'll be shipping you my carbs after all the hard work :cry:  Only problem with getting experience is it's usually too expensive.  Then again how else are we gonna learn.
