Jet Needles
Jet Needles
The Jet Needle controls the fuel mixture in the mid-range (1/4-3/4)
throttle position. The taper of the needle determines the amount
of fuel. For example, the thinner the diameter of the needle, the more
fuel will be drawn. The thicker the diameter of the needle, the less
fuel will be drawn.
