Can anyone tell me the correct setup for the needles in damper. Is there a hight to set them. ie end of needle to damper face, of face of damper to the needle collar? I’ve always just had the collar flush with damper. Interested to know the correct setup

The shoulder of the metering needle should sit flush with the face of the air valve.

Cheers. That's what I have always thought too but have seen them below about 2mm

Pushing the air valve down with the screwdriver wasn't on my radar. It was the other uninformed rubbish he was sprouting about the set up specifics of the 175 CD2-S XU1 carbs and one fundamental failure he made.
When balancing multiple carbs and setting the idle speed it is important that you disconnect the throttle linkages from each carby so the adjustment of the idle speed screw on one carburetor does not affect the other carbs.
