Nickel plated emulsion tubes / needle jets for the 400 and 600 Ducs | ||||
CRZ-EMU-100120K
$74 for 2 tubes |
Replace worn bare brass needle jets in stock carbs with Factory Pro's own stock replacement nickel plated needle jets. The needle, stock or aftermarket, will wear the needle jet orifice oblong - causing excess fuel to flow at cruise and low rpm. Additionally, the fuel that does get released is in larger, less burnable droplets. Replace the emulsion tubes / needle jets if there is more than 10k miles of varied use or 5k miles of in town driving on the bike before trying to tune. You will save time and energy. Note that, with fuel level adjustments, you can make some mixture adjustments with the "fuel level", as adjusted by "float height" changes.

Float Height Setting Trick for 38mm "Mik's" | |
One of the problems with setting
the float height on the 38mm downdraft Mikuni's that come on Ducati's,
yzf 750's, tdm 850's and fzr1000's, is that the darn white plastic "float
cage" keeps popping out of the carb body unless you hold it in. When you hold it in with your fingers, you always flex the cage frame and distort the reading that you are setting the float height at..... Aaarrggghhh!! :-) After spending 45 minutes setting some yzf750 carbs in the sweltering Mid Ohio heat of summer, I decided to make a float cage holder and sell 'em! I'd make a million $$!! |
|
When I got back to work, I
set up and made a pile of cute little flat braces. As I was sitting there, admiring my cleverness...... one of my parts guys wandered by and asked what was I making? I showed him that you could just take my clever little piece of aluminum and hold those float cages right tightly up into their seated position - so you could get consistent float height readings. |
|
He says..... It looks like you could just put the float bowl on with the front holes on the bowl lined up with the rear holes on the carb body and slap some screws in and it would do the same thing........... |
|
I bought him lunch with the
million $$ I didn't make....

Hello. Here’s the pics you asked for! Thanks for the help, the bike runs BEAUTIFULLY now, lots more power! The front end now comes up on the throttle – whereas it didn’t before! There’s another pic in there too where I used a bar code to measure the bowls. I found this a lot easier than using a ruler. I measured the bar next to the number “8†on my barcode to be the recommended height on my bike – 14mm. -Mike Beary
Thanks Mike, for the pics! |

The extension of the laboratory
for engines of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology was completed
in about 1935. Its architect was Rudolf Otto Salvisberg (1882-1940).
He had a successful career in Berlin but returned to Switzerland after
the advent of the Nazis. His architectural style was somewhat similar
to that of Erich Mendelsohn. The staircase of the laboratory is in normal
use but well preserved. Edited to the tunes of Chemical Residue by Herbie Hancock. |
