GK73A SP2 - Where Can I Buy a Needle Jet

Hi guys.

OK two questions.

1. Does anyone know where I can buy 4 needle jets (emulsion tubes) for the GK73A SP2 ?

2. Can someone confirm if the emulsion tubes are located in the Piston Valve or not (the bit where the rubber diaphragm sits on) or are the emulsion tubes located in the carb body ? I got a feeling they are as the piston is just a black plastic thing that the needle sits in, and are the emulsion tubes easy to get out ?

Cheers in advance.

Matt :)

The emulsion tubes are in the carburetor body.

They are the bit that the main jet screws into, they screw out easily.

The needle jet is another bit again, it is the brass(normaly) bit that is in the carby body that the metering needle goes through as the slide goes up and down, the gap between them and the needle is the metering point for a fair range of the throttle opening that is what you are ajusting when you change needles straigh tdiameter, taper or clip postion.

These are not nomaly messed with unless they are worn oval. They are held in by the emulsion tube, unscrew the emulsion tube and they can be pushed free of the carby housing.
