Jet needle help... was created by savedrider
Does anyone know what the next richer jet needle would be compared to a 5CN18?

Roland, Went into my shop on Saturday and looked for some 5CN18 jet needles to make measurements. I do have SOME specs on needles and some charts on relative richness/leanness but the 5CN18 isn't on the charts. I also couldn't find a set of those darn needles... Sorry. I will have to locate a set of these jet needles or you can measure them... they should be about 50mm long (5CN series) and I don't recall if they have one or 5 slots for clipping. The top of the jet is the starting point and the tip is the end. Measure 10mm up from the, 20mm up from the tip and 30mm up from the tip which should be about the middle of the jet needle with a micrometer in millimeters and perhaps I can come up with a richer jet needle.

Gave my missus an envelope to put into the mail for you this AM. Let me know how those things work... Try slot #3 initially I guess and after that, if you have any flat spots, try another slot hehe this should keep you out of mischief for a couple days, at least! :P
