[Healeys] Float bowl needles

If the float needles are sticking open you will see raw gas dripping on the
ground from the overflow tubes assuming your car still has overflow tubes that
are not clogged up.
I don't think thsi is your cause of "flooding".

I need to open up my float bowls to look for sticking needles or something
that is causing my carbs to flood.  It happens when I try to start the engine
again after a long drive.  It will eventually start, but with a lot of gas
smell which I assume is the flooding.  No other problems.  Runs great.

What are current opinions about new needles (Moss advertising Viton Tip) or
Grose-Jets??
