first  frustration is buying a "rebuild kit" that contains
only 1/2 the parts you  need to rebuild! got new jets but no new needle. 
what
the  heck?
 
 
I have never seen a ZS rebuild kit that came with jets  or needles - it 
would be unusual to need needles, and even more unusual to  need jets. the jets 
on a 73 have to be pressed out.
 
 


second.
how do you get the needle out?
and the needle was  wobbly. you could push it
sideways a little. is that normal? 
 
yes, that is normal. to get the needle out, first you  will need to screw 
the adjusting screw all the way out of the needle  carrier (from above with a 
ZS adjustment tool) - then remove that grub screw and  pull the needle out.
   
 
 
 

..

also we could pull the needle down and it would pop back  in like its on a
spring. is that normal?



yes, that is normal
