Jim 63R3984 Posted July 18, 2016 Report Share Posted July 18, 2016 I just received my SI carb kit for my R1. And the needle & seat are much different then the ones I removed from the carb. The new needle and seats are longer and when installed the float won't move at all or not with out a lot of float adjustment anyway. I thought I would see if anyone else has encountered this with Avanti R1 carb kit.Prior to the rebuild, I jacked up the rear end of the Avanti to look at disconnecting the fuel line from the tank so I could drain the old fuel out. While the back was up in the air gas started to pour through the carb and down the intake. So I purchased a new carb kit and also a fuel pump. So I wonder if someone rebuilt this before and used the wrong needle and seat. The number stamped on the carburetor is 3589S which my kit from SI covers. I can't seem to post a picture of the needle and seat on this forum. I was able to on the SDC Forum however.Any help will be appreciated.Thank YouJim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
