I am cleaning the carburetor now. It appears that the my original float valve needle does not have a groove on the top like the one in my kit – which also includes a funky wire retainer. Which do I use? My parts drawings don’t show that wire retainer…
The one with the wire retainer is better …in my opinion…as it positively pulls the needle down even if the needle is oil stuck….not a fan of the rubber tipped needles.
