needle valves

Post by rustyrescue »

can anybody direct me to a supplier of needle valves complete for the Nikki. I keep getting flooding issues...fine for a few days then the flooding returns. I have tried a few used ones, floats etc correct, even reduced fuel pressure a little to help. It always seems to be the front barrels!

This is a common issue.

Needles and seats come in the rebuild kits from Rock Auto or also available on eBay.
Back in the UK for the summer, maybe longer......
