[Purdy Swoft]

If the float is set too high it will cause stalling when coming to a stop. If the level of the fuel in the carburetor is too high , like higher than the top of the main and cap jets, fuel will continue to drip out the tops of the jets and out the choke end of the carburetor. Most usually think that the float is set correctly , when it is usually set too high and allowing too much gas to collect in the bowl of the carburetor. When this happens, you get stalling when coming to a stop and leaks. The only problem that I ever had with viton tipped needle valves was that that they could stick closed, this is clearly not the problem.
