Oh yes, i meant the needle valve that is inside the float bowl. and i meant
1/16th inch thickness for the aluminium washer - that is what i read in one
of my instructions.
where is the 'fuel jet'? stupid question...what is it?
same as the 'gross jet'? or is the gross jet the needle valve?
my old needle valve was a pin shape and the new one is a ball shape.
is one better than the other?
i was having horrible carb flooding (probably from the junk coming up
through the lines from
the gas tank and slipping past the fuel filter and fuel pump.) does one
needle valve clog more than antoher?
thanks.
