Default RE: Club Enya

Has anyone else had a problem with the needle valve stop springs not having spring to them? My needle settings have been changing in flight on one of my R155s, always goes lean. I think I will try replacing them with the old part from Supertigre carbs.


The reason the setting was creaping was one ear is missing from the spring, dough!

I checked the needle valve springs from the ST carbs, the detent is at the end of the spring steel and will not contact the Enya needle valve splines.

I would prefer the ST spring, it seems to be better spring steel. I think I could make a die from a piece of 1/4" thick steel with a saw kerf on both sides and then ca a couple pieces of 1/32" piano wire to the face of my vise and mash the works to extend the detent.
