On my GS550B there is a round shim that is positioned above the slide in the carb and holds the slide needle in position. This part is the same diameter as the slide and has four holes in it. One in the centre then one each at 9, 12 & 3 o'clock. There is a dimple or "tit" adjacent to the centre hole. Is the tit supposed to face up or down as on my carbs there are some each way. I believe it is important for them to go in the correct way. Any help out there. Maybe Keith or Nessism (or anyone...
