83' 185S Carb Problem

[d1admiral]

I am having problems getting a new needle that works with my float. The curent float is plastic and has a plastic slot in it that holds the needle. Every needle I can find has the wire clip set up. Why would my carb have this no clip setup and where can I find the needle I need?

I had the same problem. The atv shop where I bought the carb kit just swapped out the float needle for the right one. Last time I was at my little bro's house I dug through his stash and found about a half dozen of them. If u still need it, I'll send you one. e-mail me your address
