Default Yo Tim...FWIW

3:20 PMPoco Deplorevole
The float and float needle *can* be removed from the 'dexter' carburetor without removing the carb.
To order new float needles, I needed the number on the seat. Now there are two on order:

Hopefully that'll solve my carb leaking problem. Oh, the floats are plastic, not brass. No gas in
them, so apparently they're not leaking.

I wonder why two different needle sets offered for the same model carbs? Maybe one for higher performance? Can't see that though. Strange...
