I hope everyone had a safe and enjoyable holiday weekend! I finished assembly of the carburetor, and of the carburetor to the engine. I mixed up some fuel and poured about two cups in the tank. I crossed my fingers, turned on the fuel valve, and within seconds had fuel leaking from the needle guide, all the screws, and everywhere but the fuel lines. I checked the float through the needle guide and it was floating, I bounced it and it definitely moved up and down. I think the grooves in the needle are too severe to make a good seal, and I need to find a new needle. Are they available afermarket, or is this a used item only? For washers, are nylon washers acceptable or should I round up some fiber washers to fit?
