Re: Carb selection

too bad I didn't read that last week, I just ordered a needle and seat for
my 80+- husky. The needle doesn't seem to work too well for a real long
time in the old round slide carbs. Did have a delorto on the 88 510 four
stroker and put a needle from a Briggs and Stratton in it with what I called
a rubber tip. In that case there was nothing wrong with the needle and seat
I just had to learn that when I fell over and the gas kept coming out I had
to lean the bike way over the other direction to break the siphon.

In the old days of Husky maddness it was typical to replace the needle
with one for a GM carburator with the neopreene tip. I wonder if the
same thing applies to yours? OF
