Can't find any 3mm flat washers. I am referencing from http://faq.ninja250.org/wiki/Washers_for_carb_needles

I'm went to my local hardware stores & they only have 4mm washers. Are they ok to shim my needles ?

I got mine at Lowes. If you go to the hardware section, they have them but they only come in the packages, not individually. I think I got 2 packs of 5 for like $3 a piece. You really have to look over all the packages. They were pretty well hidden in the walls of nuts and bolts.

Additionally, I wouldn't stick with the 4mm. I know it does not seem like a big difference, but in the world of carbs, a mm can mean the difference between it being reliable or a needle sticking open or shut.

Thanks csmith12 ! I ended up finding them at radio shack. I bought the assorted 100 pack of washers & they had 20 #4's, so I just bought it for less than $3.
