Default RE: adjusting the needles.

Mikenlapaz..To get a longer end for the linkage to the sensor ring on my conversions
I take the shaft out of the HDA and SDC series carbs and turn it end for end...Some carbs are made so this won't work because of the location of the flat in the center...These can be used by soldering a short brass tube on the short end, then making an arm from 1/16 sheet brass...I did this on all the WT carbs on G26 conversion engines until I found a molded arm with a setscrew, made especially for these carbs by Bruce Hanson...
The WA167 works good on a G23, must be another problem, maybe the carb is opening the wrong way...The disc should progressively uncover the small holes in the venturi when opened..
