also,it only comes out from one end,motion is from the solid end to the spit end, If you do it backwards you will need a new carb top,assuming you can find one so do pay attention

| Post subject: | Weber Question- Float needle |
Having stripped down the carb I'm having difficulties removing the float needle, it unscrews ok but hits the float bracket , it looks like the thin float shaft is pinched into the housing on one side, does it need to be forced open to remove the shaft? |

I used a thin nail and a rubber hammer to push out the floater axle. If you push it out a bit you can grab it with some pliers and remove it and the floater. G. |

Well thanks for the advice and I followed it closely however right at the last gentle tap the housing broke off on the split side Ok plan B, I have a complete 96 900SS carb setup what do I need to do exactly for this conversion to work? I have a 900ss airbox but no Paso airbox as the weber came with a K&N air filter. I know the SS won't fit but what alternatives do I have and do I need to rejet? |

oh no, sorry to hear that. On which side did you tap ? The split side holds the point of the axle so that is where you should have tapped with a nail. It says in the Weber manual "Always remove pin through solid boss not split one". Should`ve mentioned that.  The SS airbox won`t fit into the frame so you would have to use filter pods or modify a Paso airbox. What you need is described in the FAQs. I.e. accellerator grip + cables, carb manifolds from a 750 SS or Monster. The ones from a 900 will work, too if you don`t use an airbox as they are longer so the carb will stand slightly twisted. You can try the carbs jetting. The one of the 750 is a little different but at the end the jetting will depend on your airfilter setup, exhaust etc. G. |

Thanks but I went the other way with the nail..  I see that the manifolds are indeed longer from the 900ss, so if I use those carbs what type of airfiler works best if no airbox can be used? just a regular K&N I also have the Bollenbach 750 that I bought earlier in the year, I need to look at that setup...maybe today |

Corse, Uni Filter do some great aftermarket filters/pods to suit the SS carbs. http://www.unifilter.com/online%20catal ... ucati.html That's what I use, they are good. Cheers, Fraser. |

It is always best to support the holder with a block of wood,or learn to cuss in Italian.....guess I should have mentioned that,but then again it does not take a lot of force to change it live and learn ducatista

I was gentle with it too and took the advice to go that way! oh well its a good excuse to dump the weber anyway... I noticed my Bollenback is fitted with 38 FCRs I have not ridden it yet and wonder how much better it will be? |
