Hey guys, got my carbs apart successfully and so far I've noticed my jet needle is bent on the number 4 carb. Do I need an entirely new one or can I just bend this one back?

I would think as long as the slides move up & down without restriction you should be fine bending it back...Originally posted by dieselhead View PostHey guys, got my carbs apart successfully and so far I've noticed my jet needle is bent on the number 4 carb.

I have bent several back into shape will no problem,The one you have shown is a lot better than the ones I have bent back into place.I have layed them on a flat surface,bent side facing up and gently pressed them back into place,Also placed them in a small dia.tube up to where the bend is and bent them back,Just don,t over bend them , they can be brittle and snap off,Once straightened roll them on a flat surface to be sure they are totally straight and won't wear your jet nozzle,Good luck.sigpic 82 gs1100ez 1168 Wiseco,Web .348 Cams,Falicon Sprockets,Star Racing Ported Head,1mm o/s Stainless Valves,APE Springs,Bronze Guides,etc.APE Billet Tensioner,36CV Carbs,Stage 3 Dynojet,Plenum w/K&N filter,Trued,Welded,Balanced,Crank w/Katana rods & Billet left end, FBG backcut trans, VHR HD Clutch basket,APE nut,VHR High volume oil pump gears,1150 Oil cooler,V&H Megaphone header w/Competition baffle,Dyna S,Coils,Wires,etc.Other misc.mods.Comment
