Re: Flooding
Are the float needles the little pistons with rubber ends on them or the long ones that stick out of the diaphram?

Re: Flooding
They are the ones that hang off the float assembly with a rubber point on them.

Re: Flooding
Maker sure that the floats can seat properly (e.g. stop fuel from entering the carb).
There's a small tab on teh floats that if bent incorrectly will sto[ them from seating and flood teh carbs.
Long shot but worth a look.
