Hello everyone. I recently had to replace the main diaphragms on the carburettors. I know the procedure and the order of assembly. The thing is that when it came to assembling the needle, the support piece, the one with a small spout that has to be matched with a tiny hole in the base of the piston, it was IMPOSSIBLE for me to know for sure if the spout was or was not inside the damn tiny hole.

I have practically assembled the needles without caring if the "spout" matched its hole. The thing is that the bike is impeccable in terms of power, it needed a change. I don't know if I should be worried, what I do know is that at the moment the bike is going great, much better than before.
 
I assure you that it is very unlikely that they have coincided. Another possibility is that the base, with the movement, rotates and snaps into place, although I do not believe this either due to the pressure exerted by the spring. The best of all is that it works and works very well. I am not going to take it apart again.
