Figured your bike a 250 with carburetor, finally! Yep, that needle should cause some problems! Will you be able to get that diaphagm/needle assembly?

Luckily I had a friend with a 2009 GV and he cleaned the daylights out of his carb but it didn't work right and he ordered a new on online for $250 and gave me his old one. You can see the repair in the video.
