Polaris edge rmk 800 ves....mikuni carb question?

Take the needle out of the carb and press the "C" clip out with the needle in your palm and your index finger pushing the clip off. (Or any finger, just so you don't drop the clip) Then press it back in the proper slot. If you have a good pair of needle nose you can pull it off with them.

Remove the top cover from the carb.
Ty-wrap or tape the throttle lever wide open.
Take a 2.5MM Allen wrench or T-Handle and loosen the hook shaped retainer that holds the needle down.
Take either a strong pen-magnet or needle nose plier and pull the needle straight up.
Do not lose the plastic washer that is below the e-clip.
Take off the plastic washer.
Push the opening of the e-clip down on a flat surface with your thumb or finger on top of the clip so that it doesnt go flying.
The needle numbers are from the top down (1-5 normally).
Place the e-clip in the desired postion and push it on.
Re-install making sure plastic washer is in place and J-hook slides over the needle as you tighten it.
PS if there are any odd needle postions like 3.5 you need to add a shim washer between the existing plastic washer and the e-clip. Your dealer or other vendor like SLP can get you the shim washers.
Good luck,
Steve

Eloctrotech said it perfectly. I use my grip to push on/off the clip.

By ElectroTech "Ty-wrap or tape the throttle lever wide open."

Remember to remove the ty-wrap from the throttle handle, I was changing my jet clip once and was distracted by my nefew, forgot that I had the throttle rapped. Needless to say when I started the sled I went on one he$$ of a ride for about 40yrds until I was stopped by the corner of the cabin. 300 dollars later in med bills six stitches in my upper lip and a broken nose reminded me to remove the rap. OUCH

my .02 tape the key to the throttle when you tie it wide open.
