Anyone know much about these?

Got a carb here missing a pilot needle... from what I read it says VE 26 E or VE 26 F

Google searched it, came up with nothing much.



Bit of an oddity; carb is on a 1996 CMX250C but everything I search says either that NZ/Aus are only ones that got dual carb versions. Looking for the VE 26, I came up with an 1987 CMX250CD and that has very similar looking carbs (part of the VE series to if I understand right) but it's not dual.


I am after one of the little pilot needles that go up from the bottom, with the washer, spring, & o-ring all there.

A couple of needles are in the mail as of this morning for you
Hopefully they work. Keihins tend to run the same size thread on the smaller carb, mikuni runs the same thread on some of their stuff too, so we'll hope one's the correct length :yes:

Thanks all.

Only just got back into town, and only just saw the replies.

Received today, except the letter has been ripped open and emptied of the carb parts.
