Re: washers
give Rick Oliver a call/email and get few from him. Simple and easy man...
Or, take one out of your carbs and measure it yourself.....

Re: washers
@ HMplant - the crack is - and please forgive me - that if you have to ask then you don't want to do it!
There are too many people drilling slides, raising needles, changing jets etc without knowing why they are doing it.
however...
The needle height has a direct relation to the richness of the midrange - as it withdraws from the main jet at throttle opening then you can imagine that it starting from a higher status will allow a richer mixture lower down the revs.
