#848329 LuckyDon (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 2127 Basic facts Jetting 3 Years, 1 Month ago   What is the thickness of the metal washers on the slide needle? What is the thickness of the plastic spacer on the slide needle?   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #848332 gggGary (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 97 Re:Basic facts Jetting 3 Years, 1 Month ago   Does the needle retainer just get pulled straight up out of the slide to access the needle?   Logged     TWO ole\' hosses...   The administrator has disabled public write access. #848333 jd750ace (User) Front toward enemy Platinum Boarder Posts: 18763 Re:Basic facts Jetting 3 Years, 1 Month ago   Yes sir.

What is the thickness of the plastic spacer on the slide needle? I'm not sure on the plastic spacer. I'm pretty sure the silver washer, is sized accordingly, for a half step on the needle(in Mikuni's world). It is a 5, with some 0's, and a decimal around it, in a manner which equates to size. Docshadow filled in some info here awhile back, re the color coding of the shims. There is a purple, and a gold, IIRC. The washer ontop of the clip, is usually a dark colored regular old washer. With the multi groove needles, folks have moved away from stacking shims on a stock needle to get where you want to be.   Logged     Last Edit: 2015/01/08 13:13 By SKWEARpeg.     The administrator has disabled public write access. #848354 Curt (Moderator) Never to old to ride! Moderator Posts: 22378 Re:Basic facts Jetting 3 Years, 1 Month ago   The plastic shim I do not know about guess I could ask Dean, the silver washers are supposed to be 1/2 the distance between the slots which is 0.020", the gold washer that used to come in the Baron's jet kit I do not remember the thickness on and don't have one to measure.   Logged     Last Edit: 2015/01/08 15:51 By Curt.     The administrator has disabled public write access. #848355 DocShadow (Admin) Hmmmm .... send beer Admin Posts: 19602 Re:Basic facts Jetting 3 Years, 1 Month ago   Shim thickness .... shim Doc   Logged     My Bike Website   The administrator has disabled public write access. #848357 LuckyDon (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 2127 Re:Basic facts Jetting 3 Years, 1 Month ago   Shim- yes sir. Some of the posts on the forum recommend putting the clip on the fourth groove of the aftermarket needle, but no mention is often made if a if a shim goes below the plastic spacer. I wish posters would be more precise in the description. The 1600's had one shim below the plastic spacer. The 1700's had two shims under the clip, one above the plastic spacer, and one below the plastic spacer.   Logged     Last Edit: 2015/01/08 16:21 By LuckyDon.   The administrator has disabled public write access. #848359 Curt (Moderator) Never to old to ride! Moderator Posts: 22378 Re:Basic facts Jetting 3 Years, 1 Month ago   Doc these should be in thousands of an inch not mm's. There are a number of different thickness shims .... gold is 10 mm , silver is 20 mm silver and purple is 30 mm. As the space between the clip is 40 mm use the silver shim to get 4.5. 10mm = 0.39" 20mm = 0.78" 30mm = 1.18" 40mm = 1.57"   Logged     Last Edit: 2015/01/08 16:22 By Curt.     The administrator has disabled public write access. #848365 davej (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 18167 Re:Basic facts Jetting 3 Years, 1 Month ago   Curt wrote: Doc these should be in thousands of an inch not mm's.

Maybe we could make the big ones out of a 2x4   Logged     dave   The administrator has disabled public write access. #848377 Curt (Moderator) Never to old to ride! Moderator Posts: 22378 Re:Basic facts Jetting 3 Years, 1 Month ago   Yep here are the correct figures Doc just got his mm confused with our inches. There are a number of different thickness shims .... gold is 0.010 , silver is 0.020", and purple is 0.030". As the space between the clip is 0.040" use the silver shim to get 4.5.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access.
