I believe you are referring to the needle jets part # 16017-1417

You are wrong, they are critical to controlled fuel metering. Somebody fibbing you AFA running, even marginally, without them.

To replace them is mandatory, your next step in the repair path.

Not sure I've got them but I'll check after you confirm it IS the needle jets you need (save me a wild goose chase)
