Needle Clips - instructions / how to?
« on: March 19, 2013, 02:00:45 PM »
Hi folks - I have a thread going here about tuning out a throttle bog. Adjusting the needle clips seems to be a likely solution. I've got all kinds of manuals (factory, Clymer), but none of them seem to really clarify the process of adjusting the clips. Can someone provide some details and/or steps for doing that? I'm working on a CB350F, and I will be removing the carbs before I start. It looks like I need to remove the top caps to get at the needles...any clarification and pictures would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
