The needle should be marked with letters/numbers.
The needles are not the same shape, size. The needle length is usually the same throughout those SU carbs used on the Minor range.
See the Burlen fuels web site for the needle to engine size requirements.

Click on the 'View' icon for the vehicle/carb chosen and the correct needle requirements will be shown if you scroll down the page..
