[Fot] Float needle valves

[Gary Schneider]

 That was my only experience with Grose jets too, even with a fuel pressure regulator set low. Seemed like a decent idea conceptually but didn't work well in practice. Possibly their comparatively large seating area makes the float pressure inadequate to hold off the fuel pressure?Gary

 Phil,I use the plain old solid needles in both street and race cars and haven't had any issues. They do wear out eventually, but after 7 years in the race car, I still haven't had a problem.

  Phil, years ago I stopped using Gross Jets, which have the spring loaded ball on the end of the float needle.  I suspected some flow issues and others had said that they had issues.  JoeB

 Anyone have experience with needle valves that do not have the spring loaded contact where the needle valve rests on the float? Is a solid one better, worse, or require different set up?
