Hello everyone,

I have troubles changing the needle of my HS4 carburator, i've removed the cylinder and the screw on the side but the needle is still stuck in its rack!

I'm getting upset with that needle since yesterday, does everyone knows if there's something else to remove to get the needle out??

thanks in advance for your help!

Try giving it a wiggle as you pull...also try pushing it up and pull down. Ive had this problem before, it will come out...eventually

The needle if I recall is in a little collar with a spring, so a bit of grit might just be holding the collar in. I suggest WD40 a bit to try and flush it out.

Edit

Careful not to the lose the little spring too.
