Jet needle groove distance
« on: July 07, 2012, 09:57:58 AM »
Anyone have a jet needle laying around?  Exactly how far apart are the grooves?  In other words, if I move my clip up or down one groove, how far is that?  Does 2mm sound close?

2mm=.078 thousandths. That is MORE than 1/16 inch.
That is way too much.

The space between the grooves is .020 thousandths.
The clip is .012 thickness.

Thanks    :)

You are welcome.
It was easy as I had a set of carb needles sitting right here on my work table.
