Frequently Asked Questions
The jet needle controls fuel flow at mid-range throttle positions (approximately 1/4 to 3/4 throttle). It works in conjunction with the main jet and pilot jet to optimize the air-fuel mixture across the throttle range.
Signs include: rough running at mid-throttle, hesitation during acceleration, poor fuel economy, or visible wear/damage to the needle taper. If your carburetor is being rebuilt, it's good practice to replace the needle.
The FJ8-8CFY02-96 designation is specific to certain Mikuni carburetor models. You must verify your carburetor model number matches. Check your service manual or contact a Mikuni dealer for compatibility confirmation.
Yes. The needle clip position (typically 4-5 positions available) affects mid-range jetting. Moving the clip up (toward the blunt end) leans the mixture; moving it down richens it. Adjustments are usually 1-2 positions at a time.
In most cases, yes. The carburetor must be removed from the engine and partially disassembled to access the jet needle. Some applications may allow access without full removal, but this is rare.
