[mr_3_0_5]

takke em aprt and flip them if there are no cracks worked for me

ive done that.. helped a little bit but still having issues

 

[coreyownz]

[mr_3_0_5]

[mr_3_0_5]

did you put the plastic piece before the reeds or after?

 

[mr_3_0_5]

first bigger square piece then the flap style pieces then the metel plate and screws.. same way it came apart just flipped everthing..

When you pull the needle out of the slide it should look something like this. The rings around the top of the needle are the clip positions if the clip is toward the point it is richer toward the blunt end is leaner

great pic.. that helped me alot i never removed it completely from the top of the slide.. so where do i want the clip..

id start by the middle position and go from there tune for response .id say your reeds are toast flipping them wont help once they are gone they are done , but thats probably not all entirely the reason for the blubbery midrange

Yeah I agree with flotek. What position was the clip in when you removed the needle? The main jet size is usually stamped on it.

The main jet has its size stamped on it...thats what I meant

i took the jet out and looked at it and put it back in.. there were some numbers on it which i didnt write down and will make note of tomorrow when i pull apart again. i didnt remove the needle from the top i left it connected. and will look at the position of that as well.. do the needles wear out??

 

[foolish913]

im not sure if they wear out but if they do i just bought a carb rebuild kit off ebay for like 15 bucks that had the jets, gaskets, an needle all included so theyre not hard to find

Yes..the needles can have wear out.

I've never heard of a needle wearing out, And I cant really see how it would so could someone please explain this a little more? I have heard of people bending them before but I dont know how.
