Rust, Rust, Rust is probably causing your problems as well as poor
filtration. In the 20+ years I have owned my car the carb overflowed twice.
Probably your tank needs to redone and new lines have to be made up.
Next time just smack the float cover with a soft mallet to dislodge the
offending bit.

BTW, there are no rubber parts in the float needle to disintegrate. The
needles do wear out however.

address answers to the list not just myself, ok?Then again maybe I am the
only one this happens to. OK, here we go, SUs have a mind of their own!!Mine
decide to pour out gas whenever they feel like it!!! usually at the worst
times (like when the tank is close to empty)If you need proof of the
existance of Murphy's law, just look at my carbs.Without warning the Jet,
stops working. instead of shutting of the fuel supply it keeps on pumping.
My floats are not sinkers.When this happens I take the cover off, play with
the jet a bit, screw it back together and it is ok for a while.it is not
dirt, I have cleaned them numerous timesIt just stops working!!!I have the
stock Jets. Why the heck does this do that, and is there a jet that is
trouble free???Thanks,Roman70 roadster 4mpg city/ 7mpg highway
