Hi Gang, I am getting ready to replace the old Ultrastar mikuni needle and seat. What works best with the fuel pump, the plain needle or viton tip? It has the plain now just want to see what you all think and why.

Both will work the same, as long as they're the same size. The Viton
needle is supposed to last longer in a high vibration environment (which
our planes definitely are, compared to the rigidly mounted engine in a
snowmobile).
What you do need to make sure of is that you get a 1.5mm needle which is
used with a pump. Gravity feed installations use a larger needle.

I think Dana is referring to the needle seat.
The number usually denotes the inlet diameter in millimeters.
It is how Mikuni works, I am a little new to Bings.
