    Leaking needle and seat

    I did just what I said I was going to do by cutting off a bunch of the bulk of the needle with a dremel tool. Gave it a skinny little waist. In addition, I took some steel wool to the float and scrubbed it down to a nice shine. I'd already polished that contact point where the float contacted...

    Leaking needle and seat

    I bought this old 49 8N some twenty years ago. It's needle and seat were leaking, so I replaced it. It leaked. I've lived with it all this time because I seldom use it anyway. It's truly just for occasional uses, but when I need it, I need it. I would just turn the fuel off and let it starve...
