Tillotson needle setting?

[Bowtie]

Hi all, Im rebuilding the carb on my 034, just wondered if there is a setting I need to set the needle arm at. Its a tillotson HK43B. Thanks.

Level with the casting on either side of the lever

Same story with the separate plastic casting that the needle is in on this carb i assume?

Unless they have changed something recently yes

I am sure someone will correct me if I am mistaken.....

Pretty much all the Tillys are level and always have been......though things do change

Thanks, Pest.

Wet the gaskets and diaphragms with mix before assembly, and then pressure test the carb. The HK can be a pain for leaking... I find it better to reuse the old gasket between the carb body and the plastic center portion.

The HK plastic section is also prone to warping. Not one of Tilly's best carbs..
