Needle Jet Holder
« on: April 23, 2014, 10:12:03 PM »
Hi all,
CB750K5:
It's an old story by now, but I damaged a needle jet holder (and needle jet) by overtightening it.
I've got a new one, but I'm still wondering how much you're supposed to screw it in? I did a search but couldn't get a definitive answer.
Thanks.

Finger tight, then just 'snug' the piece with a small socket and 1/4" ratchet. No more, it doesn't need to be cranked, totally unnecessary
