Sorry for the separate posts for each photo. Only updates is I didn't hear any sloshing inside the float and I didn't inspect the needle and seat too closely, but imo the float seems in good shape and moves freely and how I would expect it to move.

When I manage to get this sob up and running I'll be sure to get in the habit of shutting the petcock off at night to let it get beauty rest.

See #21 here: https://www.ronayers.com/oemparts/a/suz/50d32fb5f8700232d0b3d91e/carburetor You can get all of those in a relatively cheap rebuild kit on ebay. (I had the o-ring fail on both my bikes)

Re: Gas in my oil Reply #18 - 02/22/19 at 09:05:00 The needle is the aluminum piece in your picture the brass tube it sits in is the seat. Those two pieces are part 19 in the diagram. Part 25 is the pin that holds the float (part 24). You will need to push the pin out and remove the float. The needle is clipped to the tab on the float.

Push the pin out and remove the float, inspect the needle tip and make sure it is not damaged and is still pliable (it is soft rubber or Viton). Then remove the screw that holds the seat in place and remove the seat and make sure the O-ring is in good shape.

You may not have a serious problem......if the gas leaked in over 2 months of sitting you may just have a slow tiny seep - and shutting the petcock off at the end of each ride may resolve your problems.

Leave the seat in there and buy a new float needle.

You can clearly see that needle in worn in the picture. It has a groove worn into the rubber where is mates with the seat. Needle seats really don't need to be replaced unless the show damage from corrosion and your's looks perfect. Trying to remove it is unnecessary and may cause more damage than good.

On a side note: I'm actually surprised that so many of our forum members encourage people to fix things that aren't broke. Most of these guys and gals are very experienced and should know better. Angry
