Mornin Tugboat, I read clooneys post and those (needle valve and seat etc) sure are the "usual suspects" lol and was wondering how the carb acted BEFORE you installed the kit and your reasons why it needed it???? Did you happen to check if the float itself had any leaks i.e did it seem to have any fluid inside it or make a sloshing sound when shook??? Assuming you have a brass float that is, Ive seen some cork ones also, however. Was there a new gasket that fit under that brass needle valve seat assembly where it screwed down into the carb ????? Did the new needle seem to move up n down easily when the float was lowered and raised??? and did you make any float level adjustments??? Bowl removal and moving the float up n down will tell you a lot. I always turn the gas off at the sediment bowl just to be safe, but you ought to be able to find and fix whatever is causing the gas to not shut off at the carb and fill the cylinders. Whats the oil and its level look like??? If you dumped too much gas in the crankcase, the oil will need to be changed. Good Luck and let us know what you find. God Bless the USA Ol John T Nordhoff
