So, I ordered the Buddha kit (it's coming), but have a question with regards to shimming the needle. Read how to shim the older carbs, and looked (and looked) but didn't see anything on the newest carb. I have a 2009...last of the last in the USA. Bought brand spanking new with .1 miles on it so I know no one has opened the carbs. I do all the work myself.
Seems that the needle layout is different. See the link below for a picture of this. It goes white "stopper", very thin washer, C-Clip, white plastic spacer, thicker washer. Both carbs have this setup:

IF I need to shim (will determine how the jets alone work...still waiting on the kit), do I just shim the #4 washer between the C-Clip and white plastic spacer? Also, the white plastic spacer does NOT move freely on the needle. As you can see, the needle has a slightly larger diameter towards the top, and tapers to the bottom. I'm sure this is normal.
Thanks...
