Washers for carb needle
Does anyone have a source for the washers used to space up the carb needle or even the dimensions so I can find some locally?

Re: Washers for carb needle
I just used regular metric washers. 2mm or 2.5mm, I don't remember exactly. They were 1mm thick so I'd stack them to get whatever I needed. Quite honestly, I removed them completely after a little while because I found it unnecessary to richen my midrange. This was on an engine modified to 183cc. YMMV.
Some people can break a crowbar in a sandbox.

We get them from Ace Hardware or Taylors Do It Centers. The smaller independent hardware stores carry a better selection, and the nuts, bolts and washers are sold individually-not in bulk bags like LOWES or Home Depot.
