Mikuni carb
Mikuni carb
I am restoring a '80 Trailfire 440. I took apart the carburetor and the needle is pitted fairly bad. It is a 6F27 needle. After a lot of searching and calling around, I have not found a 6F27 needle. Everyone has told me this needle has been discontinued. Can someone please tell me a good replacement needle for this carb? I know there are charts out there explaining how to measure the needle to determine the sizes to find a fairly close replacement, but I haven't been around these things long enough to feel comfortable making this call on my own. Can someone please help?!

Re: Mikuni carb
Needles rarely need replacing. Check salvage yards. Many will have clean used ones available.

A source that I have used several years ago is "Pats Small Engines" http://www.psep.biz/. They stock a lot of Mikuni parts and they have ordered for me what they did not have. May be worth a try. If I remember right, they were located in Minneapolis.
