Yep GG for sure. Now you know I got to know the story.

The set in the other carbs are GG and look just fine.

Now if I can get the adjusting nut not to turn the sleeve. Don't remember having the prob before.

The 224s look fatter than the GGs?

2 different companies made the needles. The numbered are/were made in the US, the lettered SU I worked for the US guy making SU parts, back in the early 70s. I've attached the conversion file for some folks. If anyone needs the cross reference, I have it. Peter

How come the adjusting nut with the spring above it turns the jet bearing sleeve? What have I done wrong, with out the spring all is fine nut is smooth turning.

Got it, I find I only have a one carb back setting at the work bench.

Really helps if you put them together correctly, sigh.

Old brain cells need diagrams to improve connections.

Hope that sticks till tomorrow when I will do the other one.

I read somewhere that you can drink a few pints to kill off the slow brain cells and then you will feel smarter. This early in the day, I'd suggest Boddington's.
