Default Re: Carb float valve

Any float valve can have problems, but, most are pretty good.
I like the Grose valve. I also prefer the steel needle over the viton tip as many have been having issues with shavings as Old Ugly mentioned and with ethanol eating the tips on the older ones.
The float tip needs to be smooth with any valve. If there is a worn dimple in the arm it can usually be sanded smooth.
With any fuel I recommend running the carburetor dry when storing the vehicle for any length of time.
