Super Tigre replacement needles
« on: January 04, 2015, 01:11:07 PM »
Is there a source for replacement original metric Super Tigre needles?  Or does anyone have a couple they would part with?  Otherwise I have to change out the assembly to get matching threads.  Thanks, Russell

 Eric Rule/RSM sells ST needles separately. They should work.  8)

Russ,
Yes the RSM needles work in the ST spraybar. I just used one in my Fox with the ST NVA, original needle was to short so I swapped it with the RSM unit, works great.

  You don't want it to be any longer than necessary, to avoid excess vibration.

I have a couple of old Tigre engines and also several replacement Super Tigre style needle valve assemblies on other engines.  The parts do not interchange - I think some of the clones have U.S. thread sizes.  They work fine but I can't use those needles on my genuine Tigres.  Some of the replacements came from Tower and others from Leonard at Stuka Stunt and I don't know which is which anymore.

Rus,
The needle from RSM has the ST thread. I also had others that were US thread and it doesn't thread in smoothly. If in double talk to Eric when you order.
