Title: Use little clip on end of needle?
Post by: daveo76 on May 19, 2012, 11:19:09 PM

In Cliff's book he says to "discard the little clip that goes on the end of the needle"?  So, if I understand correctly, this is the clip that the needle hangs from off the float?  If so, then presumably fuel pressure is all that is needed to lift the needle and the float only pushes it down?  Is it bad to keep the clip or is there a downside?

I just noticed that someone else asked this exact same question recently and Cliff responded - thanks, Cliff!  No need to respond to mine - sorry!
