Mikuni Carb Needles and Jets

Looks like I found the source of why my T-bird has been running so rich. Pulled the carbs, and took out the needle jets. They are pretty badly worn. Looks like the previous owner had put in factory pro needles and needle jets.

I'm going to order replacements for these on sudco.com (actually their Canadian affiliate.. but that's not important)

So, since I've only got the FactoryPro stuff in my hands, does anyone know how I can find out the exact part numbers that I need.

I've got the 36 mm Mikunis. Your help with this would be VERY much appreciated.

I would think Sudco should have all that? If not, check out Bike Bandit... they call out NEEDLE, SE56-3

Thanks.. I've decided to go with the factory pro needle jets. I'm going to keep the existing factory pro needles, and see how they work with the new needle jets. (fingers crossed)
