That's why I had to take the carb apart to find the damn number.

Oh I'm familiar with that. I'm just curious of thy they had two needle applications. I wonder what the difference is between the two numbers...


Here you go. They had three different sizes for different bikes, even though the carbs were the same
'PHF'. I suppose the LeMans, etc, sucked up gas a bit quicker than Millie.

"Dellorto float needle and seat size 250 for PHF and PHM series carburetors. The 250 size is
normally used on the mid-valve touring models of 850, 1000, and 1100cc. Guzzi used part number
17939167 for 1000 Convert with PHF carbs, Mille GT, 850 T5, 1000 G5 with PHF carbs, California II
with PHF carbs, California III, CX100 with PHF carbs.'

Dellorto float needle and seat size 300 for PHF and PHM series carburetors. The 300 size is used on
the 850 LeMans, LeMans II, 850 LeMans III, and LeMans 1000, as well as the big valve 1991 1000S,
1100 Sport, big valve California III, California 1100 carbed, Strada 1000, SP III. Guzzi used part
number 14939150 as well as 30939110.

Dellorto float needle and seat size 200 for PHF, PHBH, and VHBZ. The 200 size was used on the small
twins V35, V50, V65 and V75 models when equipped with PHBH carbs, as well as 850T5 first and second
series. Guzzi used part number 19934600. Dellorto number 8649200 "
