Thanks, not quite sure of the comment above but you might be onto something. I removed the left carb and on removing the main jet and nut the needle jet just fell out but the atomizer remained in place. Now I am not sure that this would cause the problem that I have as the main jet when screwed in would hold the needle jet in place. Any ideas on how to remedy this? Thanks
