    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.

One needle valve seat different than others... issue? Pics included

Three carbs have one seat assembly, one carb has a slightly different one. I only wonder if it will be an issue because it is about 1mm higher than the others when in place.

Pics:
3/4 seats with needle (normal)

Seat comparison out of carbs



As you can see, the needle is "lower" w/ respect to the top of the seat assembly, but it is at the same height as the other three float needles. As long as my float heights are good will I be fine or is this something that will cause issues?
Any advice help is appreciated.
 
As long as the springy plunger at the top of the needle valve is still "springy" and you are able to make the float height within specs you should be good.
 
Check also the fuel height while the engine is idling to make sure they are all at the same level.
