You will like its results

They are the same 3 needle carb. It's called a J carb. The speed. Session is just black and has red ano inserts. Now there is a newer os carb, J2. But the needles are a little different more like the werks carb with a short LSN. I prefer the older J carb on my newer os engines I just like the way it tunes.

Although many like the J1 (long needle) O.S. carb, I prefer the J2 (short needle) model. EBay has them listed for $70 and worth every penny.

The J2 short needled carb is somewhat of a fuel pig
compared to the older long needle J carb. Seems like
O.S. went arse backwards with the v-spec replacement
engine. Less runtime and the never ending top end is
gone. WTF were they thinking ?

You have an older J1 carb. The newer J1 carbs have the idle screw on the top. Like the one in the link. It has the idle screw on top.
