More Amal carb questions

I'm trying to exorcise the DPO from several aspects of my 850 Commando, and have a question about carb needles. On top, the needle removed from the right Concentric (the left is the same). On bottom, a needle pulled from another Concentric. The top has 4 rings, 3 settings and the bottom has 2 rings, 3 settings and is visibly shorter. Which one is the right one for the Norton? I'm also apparently not posting pics correctly, I can't get a preview. Is Photobucket the only option, does Picasaweb work too?

Go here, scroll about 3/4 or 7/8 down the page - pics and explanation of needles:

Thanks for that link, I had looked only at their replacement parts diagram, not much detail there. So, it looks like the 4 ring needle is correct for the 850 Norton. Do the usual parts suppliers have the Norton specific needles, or will I get the std Concentric 900 series needle?

The 4 ring needle is correct for 850 carbs that have stepped spray tubes.

Thanks L.A.B for fixing my image problem. Is this a teachable fix or something only the moderator can do?

For Picasa.

Right click on the actual picasa photo.
Select "Properties" from the menu
Copy the complete photo URL (should begin with "http"...ends with..."jpg")
Paste it into your message
Highlight it, then click the "IMG" button above the message box which should tag it.
Use "Preview" to check the photo shows correctly before posting.

Thanks. I guess it goes something like this. This is what I started with several weeks ago. It's not much prettier now, but runs better and has rational wiring.
