When you ask a question, you're going to have to spend a minute or two thinking about what you want to say, then type it out, and then re-read it out loud, as if you you're a forum visitor....and make sure it makes sense. I have no idea what you're asking here. Also, some more pertinent information on the model specifics might go a long ways in getting someone to help you out. Just an FYI. :wink:

Even new float needles, etc can get stuck open. All it takes is a small piece of dirt, rust, etc..
You'll have to tear it apart again to see what the deal is. Probably a speck of rust keeping the
needle from seating tight.
