GL1200 jet needles - Tradersden - 07-04-2011
Hi Folks,
I am having a rich running problem on my 86 GL1200 Aspencade. I pulled the jet needles out of the carbs and found them to have a flat spot along the taper of the needles. I am assuming that these jet needles should be perfectly round along the entire length of the shaft. I have also looked at a friends needles and his are also showing a flat spot.
1. Should these needles be round along teh entire length of the shaft?
2. Anybody know where to get a replacement set of jet needles and jet needle holders?
I cannot find a source for replacements anywhere.
Thanks, Stephen.

Yes, I have checked Randakk's website, I will be ordering a carb overhaul kit from him, but it does not include the jet needles.....

I got mine a Cameron Cycle in Peterborough Ontario. I just phoned them and they are out of stock and can't get any more. I will try a few more Dealers in this area tomorrow and let you know if I find any.

You will need to know the Brand and Model info from your carbs.

Try these people <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.siriusconinc.com">www.siriusconinc.com</a><!-- w --> they have a store in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada and somewhere in New York, USA and have the jet needles as part of a overhaul kit. I and a few friends have purchased them and installed them with no problems.
