    My steamer 900 has carb issues its popping farting etc and would rev through the range and fuel is leaking out of carburettor on far right of the bank I have tried to do a rebuild but the issue I have is the flat heads for the needles are rounded off due to someone not being gentle enough and cock handed I want to do a full rebuild on them but cash isn't available to do that just yet but I'm more than capable I think but how do I get the brass needles out without damaging the carbs

    Paul Barnett near Taunton rebuilds them professionally. Does a great job. He’s a member of the T300 group on Facebook if you are on the pile of tripe!
