Anyone know how many jet sizes up the stock needle valves will be able to feed?
I assume thats why they come in differant sizes anyway. (to flow more or less fuel into the float bowl)
On an 800 the needle valves are 1.3's and stock jets are 143.8's. My question is will those 1.3's supply enough fuel to feed 165's?

Yeah Yammigod I suppose your right - Cant say Id blame anyone to stay away from that one.

I just called Hauck and he said no problem with stock needle valves! Its weird though you should see the hole in these 165's! compared to the hole the fuel comes through in the needle seat its a canyon!
