    I can see someone has been inside that carb before as there is a spring on the float valve needle. They probably added the seal onto the nozzle at the same time.

    I’ve heard it doesn’t much matter about a seal here as these motors drink so much fuel that a bit of leakage in this area would be unnoticeable. Not like on a smaller motor.
