Good evening gents,
Needle jet position 3 for example. Is it 3 from the top or bottom?

Thanks Steve

need to know what carb Steve.
on my monoblocs the needle has 5 slots to fit into so 3 is middle whichever way you count it, however I have seen needles with four slots so a quote from Amal site

Something that crops up all the time is whether you count the needle clip slot from the top down or bottom up. With all Amal carburettors the clip position is top down.
