Needle Point Anyone?

[Rented Mule]

I’m restoring a pair of Hitachi HSC40 carburetors (I know, blasphemy.) that we’re given to me. I’m able to find rebuild kits that have most but not all of the items I need. As luck would have it, I need two jet needles of different sizes, one Y-24, Y-25, and the corresponding emulsion tubes (needle jets.) My question - Does anyone know of a commercial source that might have the needle jets without having to buy another rebuild kit?

Check XJ4Ever.com. Many of the XJ bikes have Hitachi carburetors. XJ4Ever is first quality parts and I recommend them without reservation.

Good AM ) In a similar boat. 84 Virago 700 V-twin. One needle is Y-32. Can’t read the other. Darn it. Can anyone help with that number ….and, worse yet, should both needles have pin-like points?? One is sharp as the dickens…the other one looks flat and slightly damaged. Where can I find them without an entire rebuild kit. Thank you

Jets-R-Us has Mikuni and Keihen needles.

I don't know what kind of carburetors are on a Virago, but I've used both vendors I've linked to and recommend either of them.

Just send him an email. He’s a fast responder. Every time I’ve purchased from him it was all done through email.

HI Jet M) HSC40 Hitachi carbs. Forgot that info. Nichecycle was great but only deals with Mikuni and the Keihen ...or something like that. I just read your reply re: Jets-R-us. In the same boat....dog gone it...but thank you so, so much. My '84 only has 34K miles. Gave the guy $100 with new battery, tires, air and fuel filters. I ride a 20 CSC trike.....so only fixing this one up to flip)))

Good Afternoon Mule. In the same boat...but no E-clips to adjust the needles. Mine are Y-32. Can NOT read the other one. Darn it. Hate to put them back on and still have probs. Not necessarily easy on my 1984 700 V-twin Vigaro Yamaha. I removed both needles NOT realizing one is larger than the other. I now know the larger one goes into the Rear carb. MyYamaha dealer told me to simply install Y-29 in both carbs. What are your thoughts please....and thank you. Johnny in Alma, CO
