I'm pretty sure my float valve doesn't close properly because there is fuel leaking out of the top onto the lid of the float chamber. It's not an adjustable float so I was wondering if I can use any type of washer to space the needle lower so it closes sooner? Or any other suggestions? It seems like a lot to buy a washer off a mini parts website and get just that sent to me.

Thanks

Yes new valve. It's the superflow type. I also just put on a n adjustable float. At factory height the gap is nearly 3 times the 1/8 inch recommendation

Fit a stock valve you will get the stock setting.

I tried Supaflows, could not get it to seal.  Put standard needles in, no problem.
