Does anyone know where I can locate carb kits that DO NOT have the neoprene needle?

I have had a lot of problems with the viton tips. I have taken a leaking one out and put a new viton back in and not had a problem. Not a dirt problem, just a quality problem. Most of the time I do not have an extra viton tiped one laying around and replace it with an old brass take out I have in a little box. Not just Allis carbs. I have had just as many problems with my Olivers. The last three new carb kits I installed with the viton tips did not cause a problem.

Jr,
If you're having problems with Viton needles, then you have debris in the fuel system. We do a lot of carb rebuilding, and you can't believe what I find in these Zenith and M/S carbs. That's all your going to find anymore for needle valves is Viton. Inspect and clean the inlet area to the needle valve. Dirt, rust, and all kinds of nasty lookin' stuff gather's in there, right behind the elbow. As far as the Copper line thing is concerned, I don't know what that's all about...

I'm not having problems, but many guys that come buy carb kits are. We've been putting inline filters before the carb but many guys are still complaining that their carbs overflow after rebuilding their carbs. We've had requests for the old style needle and seat and thought maybe someone still makes them.

I see no problems with the Viton needles either, but if you want the original style, try giving these guys an email to ask if they can still supply them.

there is nothing wrong with the viton needles. you can't run copper fuel lines.

Interesting. What is the problem with Viton and copper lines. I've not heard that before. Does copper attack Viton or neoprene?
