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... -
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
