Default Re: Float needle sticking

Just one experience and possible rare scenario:

A Model A owner first buys a new rubber tipped needle valve from a Model A parts place.

Next the Model A owner tries to adjust the float "with" the rubber tipped needle "in place", and presses down on the rubber tipped float valve with the force of an elephant and a half and deforms the rubber tip.

The rubber tip needle malfunctions, and the Model A owner sends it back to the parts place for a refund .... or to exchange it.

The innocent re-stocking clerk places it back on the shelf until the next Model a owner orders one.

Guess what happens next?

Threw mine in the garbage after seeing it was deformed with a 10X magnifier and ordered another one that worked ...... did not even try to send it back for someone else to receive it later in the mail.
