Well I'll tell u what I did when I took the carb apart, I ran the needle all the way in and blew through the fuel line connection, I gotta tell u that the amount of air that I was able to blow through was very minimal, only after I advanced the throttle was it easier to to force air through. Point is I'm not convinced that the needle is incorrect, these needles are flat on one side and I'm not sure if it's possible to completly cut off the fuel flow by running the needle in all the way. But to Colin's point, he is correct when he says there is raw fuel in the intake, after I removed the carb directly after starting this thing 2 wks ago there was quite a bit of fuel lying in the intake. I'm not quite sure what to do at this point. When I spoke to Revmaster 2 wks ago and said I wanted a leaner needle they had more questions than answers and were not convinced a leaner needle was the solution.???????????????????????????????????
