Carburettor Float Needle Tips

Post by davel182 »

Hi. Anybody happen to know whether the (older) black tips were shaped or are mine just worn that way (hopefully picture attached)?

Dave.

The black one would have originally been shaped like the orange Viton tipped one.

No, the black one is spectacularly knackered! Normally conical like the red one.

You can buy just the needles, they're the ones for the VHB, rather than VHBZ.
