Part number is 13383-13A00 jet needle. Indeed they are extremely rare.

Thanks for the info. I don't need a top of the line tyre for the little riding I'll be doing so V Rubber or Mitas could be the ticket. Will have a look see

Doh! thanks Hoony. never gave speedway tyres a thought 
should have grabbed a couple of Catapults when I worked for Bert Kingston in the late '70's but I saw they were 19'' and thought how utterly useless!! If I had done that I'm sure I'd still have them to this day

Graeme what do the dirt track guys run for 19'' rears? I want to do some practice days on my CR125 but it seems the choice of block pattern is pretty slim

Pretty much all manufacturers be it Japanese, British, Italian, French, US, Austria, Swedish, India, Spain etc have made lemons in the past. I agree a lot of the Chinese stuff is crap but in saying that I also concede there are some Chinese companies that do produce a reasonably good quality product. Always figured you get what you pay for so if it is cheap don't have any high expectations and you won't be disappointed. A couple of years ago I purchased for my business 2 Chinese copies of Suzuki's 'famously reliable' aircooled 2 stroke lawnmower engines. I purchased 2 because I figured for $125 each I might get a season from both if all went well for less than the price of a budget B&S powered mower (With 30 or more customers that's the equivalent of 30 years each season if I only mowed my own lawn) Near on 2 years later, after countless hours of sometimes very heavy work, I have still not had the need to fire up the second mower as the first replacement is still running faultlessly. They are Chinese but I swear they are super reliable. Doesn't compare to full on motorcycle componentry I know and not all manufacturers are quality but some can and do build decent 2 stroke engines if they want. I expect some of the motorcycle companies, will sooner rather than later, get their act together.

Brent, I've heard the brake fluid method as The Hoonmeister mentioned. Buzz from the US did it to some hard old carb/airbox boot..will ask him if it worked.
late edit. Buzz only used it for fuel tap rubbers..said it swelled them..might not be a good idea

I concur with the above mentioned Facebook and Photobucket quotes. A lot of the resto work, events and questions that were once here now get posted on FB. That said, the wealth of knowledge available within the Ozvmx archive is second to none
