Hi, a non issue is an issue that isn't. I hope that clears things.

One of the problems you guys may be encountering is this; whomever sourced you the carbs may not have known the application and as such provided you with the wrong metering needle to start with. I got mine from a guy that lives and breaths Lambretta and was familiar with my bike and it's setup, thus he provided the proper needle to start with. 4 or 5 quick adjustments and I'm set. I hope that helps.

When you say "that's an issue" I'm sure it makes sense. "It's a non-issue" means the opposite - this thing is not a problem.

But it doesn't, in english. In english, an issue is a copy of a magazine (for instance).
As an example:
"Do you have the issue of Performance Bikes with the new Ducati in it?"

Or, you could point at it, and say:
"That's an issue".

But more likely, you'd say;
"That's the issue."

Problem is a different word entirely. Presumably, unless you're a 'mercin.

I believe it's still more American than English though, and more slang than proper in the first place.

I'm not even sure why I bothered though - I wasn't the one to use it! =)

Eh? :-?
Saying something is "not an issue" is English, there are many words in the English language that have double meanings and "issue" is one of them ;-)
