I didnt see which year and model you have but on my 80 SG if the o-ring that is under the needle seat is bad it can cause flooding.I havent had it happen to me but have seen guys on here say they have.

Hey Tired,

Don't go ordering a new float until you check your old one, the plastic ones rarely go bad!!! Like Tarzan said, the 81 uses the O-ring under the float needle seat, and these can shrink, causing leaks, so with a new float needle, get the seat/O-ring. You might even be able to find a neoprene O-ring at your local hardware store that would fit!

I had rebuilt mine some 8 years ago, and they started leaking a little this year, replaced the float needles and they are good again!
