| CARBURETTER. E.W.O. F.3.S.K. - CARBURETTER NEEDLE. The needle called for on E.W.O. is plain at the top and this has been found to be too small, the carburetter body has therefore been reamered out and a shouldered needle used (Part No. D.3900-E.M.) - Just drawn from stores D.3900-E.M. carburetter needle is .002" smaller in diameter than the ones we have been using and requires a new jet to be made. | ||
