NEEDLE
VALVE INSPECTION
If
foreign matter is caught between the valve seat and the needle
valve, the gasoline
will
continue flowing and overflow. If the valve
seat
and
needle valve
are
worn
beyond
the
permissible
limits,
similar
trouble
will
occur. Conversely,
if
the needle valve
sticks,
the
gasoline
will
not flow into the float chamber.
Clean
the float
chamber and float parts
with
gasoline. If the needle valve is worn
as shown, replace
it and the
valve seat
with
and a new one.
Clean
the fuel
passage
of the mixing chamber using compressed
air.
