wasn't that the weird sportisi needles that you tried in your pregen?
If you look on parts diagrams, the jets are the same jets between both generations:

for the needles, I'm going to shim them out as far as needed to make them the same length as my shimmed needles. If they completely don't work, I'll just sell them again. They were only $10. I still need a second pair though so I have a pair of the same length...
