I'm looking for some needle shims and won't order from mcmaster/carr since I'm in Canada (++ shipping cost). So if anyone have some leftover shims and would be willing to sell em, plz let me know!



Thanks ;-)

Shims are way more accurate than necessary. Visit a hobby store or well-stocked hardware store and pick up a couple flat washers to fit. As you retune the carb if you need a bit less thickness, and anvil and a hammer will take care of that, as will a few minutes and a piece of emery paper. Fact is, even cheap flat washers are more accurate than the needles with multiple clip positions which served us old timers well for years.

Thank you qwerty! I remember reading your hammer trick in one of your previous post. I'll give it a try.
