Anyone have a set for sale? In case I got the name wrong, it's the black plastic piece that holds the carb needle in. Thanks

Pretty sure your asking about what the OEM calls the "PISTON, VACUUM
part number 16111-MBB-640"
Number 22 in this parts picture.



You need BOTH front and rear (same part number)?

Fistfullofthrotl718

Negative. Number 10 in the diagram. I need front but might take both to have a spare.

You need a set or just one? I have some disassembled carbs at home I can look through... can't remember if I have both or one of those...

I just NEED one(front, although I think they are the same). Apparently the PO had broken half the tabs off one. And considering Im about to be in and out of these carbs quite frequently over the next couple weeks. A spare would give me some peice of mind.

How do you actually remove the needle from there?

E.Marquez

Take one of the cover screws (#19 above) and thread it in the the needle holder (long tower looking thing above the #10) then pull STRAIGHT up, with the slightest wiggle.
Rock it over to far and you can break the base of it

Thank you. I did notice that it was threaded. I was going to try that, but now I know that is the actual way you do it.
