On my 2000 model, I'm chasing an issue with the high pressure pump starving for fuel above 3100 rpm (surges). I've taken the VST apart (again) just to be sure and it looks pristine inside. I do have a question about the needle valve, though. Is it supposed to have a sharp point on it? Mine is blunted.
