I took a look at the new needle and seat in place and out of the bowl..... interestingly the "NEW" little wire that is in the rebuild kit that is offered for clipping onto the needle and connect to the float to "help" pull up the needle when the float rises seems to interfere with the seating of the needle. The original carb didn't have one and the idea is sound with today's gas and lack of lube, but the tiny wire has to sit in the screwdriver slot of the seat or it creates a bit of interference between the float tang and seat? I can't imagine that little floppy wire would stay in that small seat slot each and every time. Guess I can not install it and determine if that shuts down the float better. I am thinking the needle sticking and starving is better than raw gas running out on a hot manifold... yikes.
