I have my mikuni needle as rich as it can get right now, but I would still prefer a slightly richer needle, so I have the chance to change if the need arises. I also have a dynojet needle, but since I dont have them both in front of me, does anyone know which taper is richer?

 

Im perty sure that Hightower knows the answer to this one. If he doesn't chime in soon shoot a PM his way.

 

lol, chris is "THE ANSWER MAN"

I already have a washer under the e-clip to help raise the needle a bit more. (the washer helps me basically get half-sizes, when raising/lowering the clip a whole notch seems to be too much)

 

The DJ needle is richer in midrange.
The DJ and stock needle have simular start and end sizes.
The DJ gets aggressive and is .011" smaller at peak mid and then starts to taper back to stock size at WOT. The DJ needle has about 1 1/2 grooves higher to raise needle.
If you only need alittle more richness at bot/mid, then buy small metric washers and raise the needle. You will need to grind some material off the end of stock needle to fit retainer/spring.
Most small metric washers are .020" thick. 3 washers would be like being in the 6 1/2 groove. Stock has only 5 grooves.
