I won't be able to drop the clip until tomorrow. I'm bowling tonight. I will let you know in the morning how it acts to it. I think that these Shindy needles 1/4 of an inch longer or so than stock.

Longer needles can make you run lean.

Yeah that's what I was trying to say. Would it running lean there make it hesitate getting into the high RPM's?

Very possible. I'm not a fan of any of the aftermarket needles available for stock csrbs. They are all quite a bit longer than stock ones. ...even at their richest setting, they are longer than stock needles at their leanest setting.

Yeah that's what I'm thinking too. Ok well I will try richening the needle. I was just desperate so I got those. Guess I should get some stocker needles soon. Also I just want to make sure my main is ok. I've done plenty of idle to WOT revvs and there are no problems except that needle. Main is currently a 280.

They are actually the same length. The Shindy needle is on the right, stock is the left. I will try 4th position to see if I feel a difference.6ff5b4f17ebe1c2ce7d79de28752552b.jpg

Are you sure those are OEM banshee needles? It's been a long time since I've looked at any, but I remember them being more blunt than that.

Yeah, 5N7's
