Please make sure your cork is not a bit bogged even though it is floating. It may float but not have enough bouncy to allow the needle adequately seal and prevent bowl over flow. Have you been to the Poche website. Lloyd gave Mr. Poche a good bit of guidance with his motor repair and excellent advice for his website in regards to the TD and TN Johnson motors. Those leather primer seals are a must to evaluate as well.

If your needle is damage, then you may have to get a carburetor replacement. I can’t remember if the carburetor and the needle are a married pair. If that is the case, your best bet is to place an add in the webvertise part of this website. You will get a reasonable deal from trusted members who have multiple parts motors.
