    Broke needle tip off in carb and it's stuck

    Hurray! Lots of fiddling and poking around in main outlet hole with picks but in the end a reluctant resort to carefully 'dremeling' the bit from the screw hole did the trick. I used a diamond coated cone bit with same angle and size as the needle head. In the attached picture it has lost its...

    Would anyone have experience getting the adjust needle tip out of the hole? I haven't gone down the path of drilling or anything yet. Thanks

    SX/SXi/SXi Pro Installing impeller KE-CD 9/15 Solas 750 Concord

    The Solas 9/15 impeller that I bought new is up to 1 mm too large in diameter to fit the pump housing. It is advertised to fit my '97 750 SXI (year based on hull id) and I wonder if I should either grind the impeller edges, sandpaper the inside of the pump until it fits or just return it.
