Needle valves

[prometheus578]

yeah, MRO... know the feeling.
Found carb on riding mower leaking today. Would order new needle... just can't figger out if it's a Walbro or a Nikki carb. Different needle number. I might have to resort to extreme measures.


Yeah, T.C., but you're talkin' really fine sediment... the stuff that gets past most filters.
A few years back, I accumulated a small jar of "filtered" sediment. I was gonna run it through several different brands of inline filters to see which caught the most. Sadly, never got around to it.

What I would consider worth the time is to install some inline fuel filters if you don't have any. The fine particles of rust and stuff from the gastank can get past the intank filters, and the inlines provide another layer of defense, so those little particles don't get into your carbs...wedge between your NEW floats and seats and cause them to leak when they shouldn't otherwise!

PS, Prom, at least my CRS isn't that bad...I had the chrome polish right!

Thanks TC, I will just clean the seats/needles and add some 2nd stage filters for future fuel flow quility
