broke needle jet tip will it run normal or what

The very tip of my needle jet got broken and will this cause the carb to flood. I can only find new jet for like $70 and then found a whole carb rebuild kit with the jet for $30 on ebay. Does anyone know where to get just the jet for cheaper. I already check the local motorcycle savage yard. will this make the bike run any differnt
Thanks

 

Your description is not clear.

Do you need:

The mixture screw
The slide needle
The fuel inlet needle
The fuel valve seat
The idle jet
The Main jet

Try to describe exactly what or where it is. May be one of us, or I, have extra parts.

the needle jet needle is the pin that goes up and down with the slide, the needle jet is the brass tube with holes in the side that pin goes into.
the float needle goes up and down with the floats and has or had a rubber tip,
if it's gone it will flood big time

 

Are you talking about the float needle......look to see if the rubber tip is still on

 

Polock is thinking of the right needle
I can post a pic but dont know how

 

The needle coming out of the throttle body

 

This ?

 

Yes that needle

 

Depending on how much is missing, the very tip only comes into play at high RPM & full throttle. If you mount it in an outboard carb, you could ride for now and replace it later.

If it's too short, it could come out of the jet "nozzle" and jam the slider open.

 

how in the world did you do that ? there's a number on the top of it Y-??
i might have one, if not i know who does
put your bike in the signature area

 

i have been trying to upload a picture but it says extension is not aloud. it is just a pic off a phone

 

You will need to post the pic to a thrd party hosting site, and then link the photo here.

 

Like what is some3rd party sites

 

Photobucket works but there r others

I think both tips got smashed and i could not find any markings on it

 

What Polock is referring to is for him to put the year & model in his signature......not his avatar....

Hohen

Clcik on" My Profile Information"......navigate to "My Signature"....type in your year & model of your bike.......click save changes......

Your year & Model will now appear at the bottom of your postings.

 

Ok done that

 

It is not showing up

 

at the tip of that pin, it should have a bevel that comes to a sharp point. look at a good one and compare, if any of that bevel is still there, i'd use it.
not on the pin , right up close to the plastic cap should be those #'s. if it's a 650 or 750 they'll be y-11 or y-13, anything else, i dono nutin about

 

Y-13 is for 750cc

Y-10 is for 650cc

 

You can see were it starts to go to a point if thats what mean

 

I look at the other jet and it said y-10. It must have wore off of the other jet

 

Can you compare the overall length and tell us how much is missing??

(and of course, how did you smash them??)

 

I compared them and you can really tell an differnce
I am going to philly for the next couple days on a mission trip so i probaly cant get on this

 

I am sorry that was supposed to say you cant really tell a differce in the needles just the very tip is screwed up

 

Got my signature fixed

 

It will still have an effect on fuel flow and atomization in that carb. Whether you will be able to tell a difference in how the bike runs is hard to say. That would depend on the state of tune of everything else.

The needle is shaped the way it is for a reason. If your question is "do I need to fix this?" the answer is yes. If the question is "can I get by with it like this for a short time?" then the answer is maybe.

Needles are readily available and not expensive. Just fix it.

 

Yeah i decided just to buy a new needle and i have done alot of looking for the needle and cheepest i could find it was 30 for a carb rebuilt kit that includes the needle. Do any of u know the best place to find them for cheaper. Thanks for your help and everything guys

Yeah...... If you don't want to get it from Chacal, here's another great guy to contact: send an email to LEN.... you can reach him at info@xj4ever.com

Dave

 

I've got a few things from Len. But his prices are almost the same as chacal.

 

NO.
NEIN.
NON.

Read about Chacal/ Len and keep track of positive vs. negative responses to his abilities in providing the correct part, in short time with the added bonus of true "customer service".

He has proven to be a trusted, reliable and quick resource - why would you want for anything else?

 

Just thought I would mention, I bought main needles from charcoal/Len today. He was extremely helpful, and very quick. Not only that, but I have been looking around online for main needles for over a week and I couldn't find any due to them being discontinued. However those parts websites still showed prices, and Len was cheaper than any of them.

That being said, I highly recommend buying from Len.

 

I just got the needles in the mail which i purcased from chacal. He was very help full and great to work with. He also has the best prices. But i plan to put the bike together tommorrow and see how she runs

 

Decided not to order from Len, huh? Chacal's prices better than his? LOL

dave

 

Chacal/Len has gotten negative responses???? UNTHINKABLE!!! There's no one better.

 

Of course not, just baiting the doubtful to investigate and research the Legend that is Len.

 

I thought chacal and len was the same person

 

I am not sure about Chacal's prices...but Len has the parts & good pricing...hope that Chacal can match them.....

 

Now you guys are really confusing me. Err, I meant us. Umm, I mean, this reminds me of my favorite poem:

Rose are red,
Violets are blue.
I am schizophrenic,
And so am I.


P.S. violets aren't really blue, they're violet...........
