float needle source

[dave hussey]

I had a leaky carburetor, and traced it to a worn float needle, on the morning of a trail ride! What to do, oh WHAT to do....AHa! Bing carb=BMW...turns out the R75 uses the identical needle. $6.00 and the day was saved!
Geez, if this had been a '72 Japanese bike, forget finding a float needle for it.
