Hello everyone.
Today i just changed my 1992 virago 250 cracked carburator intake manifold with a new one. I also had a spare carburator that i've bought from ebay Uk long time ago, i don't remember if it was for a virago 250 or 125 but i thought they were similar and i cleaned it all and decided to install that instead of the original one. But then i realised, the main needle diaphram diameters (metal cylinder radius i mean not the diaphram itself) are not the same.
The spare one was 2-3mm smaller than the original. Main needles looked similar to me.
Then i put on the spare one and it fired up after a couple of tries. And i guess this spare one runs the engine better than the original. I'll try it on the highway tomorrow.
