Hi all! SO i have a 1bbl carter that i took apart to rebuild, but when i ordered the rebuild kit, the needle turned out to be too large. It was a rebuild kit for a Carter YF, any ideas as to why this is wrong?

you didn't state what model carter you have
or what kit you purchased
are you referring to the float needle?

I use a walker kit from Oreilly Auto

CarbKing also has an excellent kit.

Good Luck

I used a NAPA kit and yes, the needle was way to long, and the screw in cylinder that goes around it was to large as well. And I have a Carter YF carb
