I'm reassembling the carbs on my 250 and just checked the needles. They are
labeled B1AF and, according to the Haynes manual, are the right needles for
a TR6. The proper needles for my 250 are B2Y. I have a set of B2Ys in my
extra parts box. I'm wondering if it is worth the effort to switch them for
the B1AF needles. If yes, how do I separate the needle from the brass
carrier? Does that cross-pin push out from either end, or pull out from the
top?
FWIW, the carbs look like they came from a '73 TR6. They are not the stock
carbs for sure.
While I'm here, what is the easiest way to detect wear on the needles? Can I
see it, do I need to use my calipers, or is there another way? I checked the
jet and it looks round. Is wear on the jet easy to spot?
Thanks,
Peter
