    Hi,
    While you have the carb off, it would be a good suggestion to replace the needle and seat. The seats swell and throw the float level off. I use the blunt end of a drill bit, though an Allen wrench also works. The side of the seat that goes in first has a ring; "never to be seen again" was how one factory rep put it.
    Peace,
