    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Different fuel inlet valve and needle

One fuel inlet valve and needle is different than the other 3 for my '81 850.:confused: It is still a 2.0 valve, though the outside of the valve body is shaped differently in that the stepped in section where it is held in by the retaining piece is much higher up the side of the body. The overall height of the valve is different and the needle height is different as well. In fact, the retaining piece doesn't fit flush with the top of the collar like it does with the other 3 inlet valves.

I have ordered another OEM valve, but I am curious what types of problems this could cause with the carbs.
 
Providing the owners used a gauge to measure fuel height I dont see how it could cause a proble.

Take pictures its all I have really.
That and the Canadian Tire flyer.
 
The 22.4 mm assumes that the float valve and needle are at the same height in every carb or it would be a meaningless measurement. I don't think that any real damage would have been done, but I am ticked that I have to wait a week for the new part to come in before I can finish rebuilding the carbs. :mad: Sorry for the rant...

Turning the page...:rolleyes:
