[QUOTE="RaisedByWolves, post: 482232, member: 22989"] What led you to tear it down to begin with? Symptoms? Is your tank vented properly? You can check the needle and seat by removing and emptying the carb and letting it dry, then with the carb inverted and with a clean piece of hose lightly pull a vacuum on the hose and see if it leaks air. Or alternately blow into the hose while lifting and lowering the float to see of air stops passing when the float comes to a rest. Double check the bottom of the float is level with the carb body when held upside-down. [/QUOTE]
