No need to change the Main Jets or Float valves as the spurious ones are not as good as the original.Thanks unfazed, that's great info for the future. I've completely replaced the carbs now, so I'll see how they go. They look in much better condition than the one I've taken off, and I know they've been on a shelf in the garage for a decade at least. So I'll see how they go.
These are the sizes I used
Use Nitrile (Buna-N) SHA75 to 90 or Viton® (FKM/FPM) SHA75 to 80
Nitril wokat lower temps and Viton at higher temp but wont make much difference in Carbs. Nitrile is a bit cheaper
Sizes, I measured
Float needle valve: 7.5mm ID x 1.5mm cross section
Main Jet: 5.5mm ID x 1.5mm cross section
