    are individual needle jets available for my XJ650 RJ? took two of the carbs apart today and one of the rubber tips is trashed. Thought i would replace all 4 while at it.

    If by fuel needle you are referring to the rubber tipped float needles, they are available from Chacal at a reasonable price.
    Fuel needles are located on the CV slide and ride in and out of the main jet emulsion tube. They do not have rubber tips.

    Chacal sells them separately at a good price, give him a holler.

    Part number HCP870 for just the float needle... but these are longer than stock, so it'll be necessary to bend the tang arm on the float to compensate.
