I have reassembled the carby, as far as I can tell, "by the book". I am waiting on another part for the fuel delivery line which has been on back order for some time now, so I cannot try it all out yet. (It's always a bugger to get parts when the company that manufactured your original machine has been bought out. Husqvarna apparently bought out the small engine division of Komatsu, who made Zenoah machines.)
I reused the old needle as the one kit-supplied was obviously for a carby different from mine. Otherwise, I used only kit-supplied rebuild parts throughout.
I will advise the end outcome.
