If you don't want to keep the old needles just take out the screw and pull the needles out with a pair of pliers. It's a bit harder if you want to keep them... I take the screw out and drill a small dimple in the needle shank through the screw hole, then lever it out with a stiff scribing tool, someone else probably has a better way but that's what I do..

I will check it under a magnifying glass if there are some flat spots on the existing needle. If there are some then I got to replace it. what you are saying Simon is that needle is set in the damper that hard that destroying it with a pair of pliers or drill and lever it out from there....wow

Thanks,

Does anybody know what size those screws are that keep the butterfly on the shaft in place? I could not find any button head screws on Guam

It’s an overflow hole cover. If the float needle gets stuck it’ll send fuel out of the hole there, that cover makes it dribble onto the lid and not put into the engine bay. Ideally you’d have both fitted

Can I buy this? Thanks

Part number is AUC1215. Google will show you can buy from numerous places.

Thank you I just placed an order from this link

does the housing for the float valve have a washer when screwed on to the float lid? Thanks
