HI Guys

I haven't been able to find any NEEDLE JET HOLDERS for the CVK36 carburettors on my Bonneville.
The NEEDLE JET HOLDER is the part that SCREWS INTO THE CARBURETTOR BODY between the NEEDLE JET (a collar type affair) and the MAIN JET SCREWS INTO THE NEEDLE JET HOLDER.

They're missing on the Triumph and Bike Bandit site, Schematic drawings and there are no part numbers or mention of them.

I did however find these parts for a KEIHIN CVK CARBURETTOR used on an HARLEY 883 SPORTSTER on the Bike Bandit site.
As they're only needle jet holders!


Will they fit into any/my carb bodies and are they likely to be the same size.
In short are these UNIVERSAL parts for all KEIHIN CVK CARBS.

Thanks to everybody.

I already ordered some Harley 883 Sportster type, Keihin Needle Jet Holders from Bike Bandit after finding them on a Harley schematic they have.

Guess I'm hoping that because the jets are adjustable then the holders maybe a one size fits all kinda deal.
I Suppose I'll find out when they get here.

From the link you gave me it certainly looks like they'll fit any late Harley with a Keihin carb on it regardless of it's capacity .
So fingers crossed.

I still can't understand why they're missing from the Triumph Schematic though.
Especialy when everything else is there.

Thanks.

First of all, The spare set of carbs I bought only had one needle jet holder in it, one side was just a Body & a slide No needle, no needle jet and no main jet. As I initialy only wanted the slide to mod it didn't matter.I didn't know that till I took it apart.
Now I wanna build the others up in a completely polished and reconditioned state and get the float bowls chromed as well as having the tops re-chromed with superior chrome.
Secondly I e -mailed Allens the Keihin Importers about 10 days ago and haven't had a reply.
