I'll take it apart and look. I did have the carb rebuilt last fall by an "expert" and replaced the needle and seat at that time. I cannot imagine its already bad. BUT one side of the float DID fall off when I changed out the pilot last month. Easy enough to put back on but I'll look it over.

I've had the carb apart no fewer than 20 times since owning this thing over the past year so I am now becoming my own "expert"
