Actually ordered myself a carbtune... early Xmas pressie 
Currently having some discussions on FZ1OA about the float needle/seats. I'm installed pattern parts and without any adjustment to the tab its 14.0mm (pattern needle 0.3mm longer than OEM). Ivan is suggesting to get OEM.
However, thinking out loud, the way I see it is that as long as the float level is correctly set as-per Ivans specifications, then the fact its non-OEM shouldn't matter... I mean, its just a tap for fuel effectively... nothing like a jet or needle.
One thing I've also noticed is that the spring in the needle is stiffer... much stiffer... so making the measurement process much easier ('cos the float doesn't compress the spring!). I think Falcon Mike said this was just for damping... so again, it shouldn't make any difference I'm thinking... what do you all think?
