Well considering the only needles you get in Carbys are idle mixture Screws (needles). Then it would make a huge difference.banana.logic said:nice one, I wouldn't have thought the needles would have affected starting though...
i think you need to brush up carb basics 101ASTAR said:Well considering the only needles you get in Carbys are idle mixture Screws (needles). Then it would make a huge difference.banana.logic said:nice one, I wouldn't have thought the needles would have affected starting though...
