Hi
Need to riches up the top end on the van as it is running a bit lean.
The only way I can stop it at the moment is to run the bottom end too rich which isn't ideal as it splutters and I don't want bore wash!
I have looked at minty lamb and found AAB but struggling to find others that are richer.
It's a 998 with big valve head and lcb with itg cone and med stub stack.
Any assistance appreciated
Thanks
Mike

If I could reccomend one thing in my entire life, it's visit AB garage, I kept guessing mixtures etc. One trip to him and it was perfect. One thing I would leave to someone with years of experience! Sorry I can't help with the needle etc. Although there is a chart online somewhere that does show you which you could use

A lot of needles are richer. Whats your spec? Aaa, aau, abd are all richer 4 example.

Spec is in original post.
AAB is richer than all those you have listed, I think.

In case anyone is interested, minispares suggested ABY so will have a play with that.

You could try and modify your existing one with fine emery paper near the thinner end of the needle if your wiling to experiment.
