Title: Flat Slide Carby Needle Jet removal???
Post by: Toolboy on May 08, 2013, 02:33:09 pm

Gday all,

This is the first tiome i have dismantled a Flat Slide carby and Im having problems with removing the needle jet.

My question....Is that a clip on top of the needle and you just pull it out using pointy pliers???

I have tried and it does not move far,, i dont to break it.

Any help appreciated

Tim

Once the main jet is taken off the needle jet should push out (back up through the slide opening).  Sometimes they can be a bit tight and need a little tap.  They are just the same as a round slide carb

Are you removing the 'needle' or 'needle jet', the needle is held in the slide with a 6mm hex plug that you 1/4 turn to undo.  The needle jet, as Steve says, should just tap out once the main jet is undone.
