Author Message   Gunslinger Posted on Tuesday, July 28, 2009 - 09:37 pm:        OK, we have all heard about this legendary needle. I am having a rough spot in the 3100-3700 range and I am trying some cheap fixed to try to diagnose the problem. A new needle may solve the problem, or at least make enough of a difference that I will know that jetting was the problem. So where do I get one. I checked the internet with no luck.   Bigal Posted on Tuesday, July 28, 2009 - 09:49 pm:        If you want to try something cheap for testing just put a shim under the stock needle to hold it up higher; as well as I remember I shimmed the needle on my M2 about 0.030" and the results were significantly better than the N65 needle that I bought back in the day; the shim is still in there too!

Maybe a couple more washers.   Bluzm2 Posted on Friday, July 31, 2009 - 04:56 pm:        Normally about .050 on a stock needle makes a noticable difference. It did on my stock M2 anyway...
