[QUOTE="dlhutson, post: 145262, member: 24459"] I live in the panhandle of Texas at 4,000 ft. elevation. The stock carb has 160 main and the stock pilot jet with the needle in the middle or stock position. We ride in the mountains of New Mexico during the summer at between 8,000 and 10,000 ft elevation. I was having rings put in the 96 and decided this would be a good time to "upgrade" my carburator since all that I had read says the 1998 carbs and up were better than the 1996. Mine is certainly fat in the mid-range at the higher altitudes, so I was going to have to lean out the needle anyway. These carbs are so hard to get on and off that I don't want to have to mess with the needle anymore, so I think that the 1998 carb with the needle in the next to the top would hopefully fix the problem. Do you think I would be better off to just take the needle and slide from the 1998 carb and insert it into my 1996 carb? Thanks for all of your help. [/QUOTE]
