Re: Needle Jet/Jet Needle Replacement ?
Personally I’d leave it for now. Good question re frequency, my guess is 30-40Kkm or when mileage starts to reduce. Do you have a common ride you do where you can gauge fuel use? If you’re fussy enough to do that run as and do comparison of fuel use, you’ll “know” when they’re getting worn as milea...

Re: 5 speed trans shimming
