I'd like to buy a new pair of float valves/needle valves.

Anybody know of a reliable source ?

If you don't have any luck here try Bruce Smith, in the states, he rebuilds carbs so may have spares. http://www.sparkingplugs.com/2.html

He was helpful in sourcing bits for my fuel pump.

Mike,

Webcon usually keep rebuild kits and may be able to supply needle valves on their own.

Mike,

I did use some years ago Stoddard items and they are still working fine. You can buy them individually from them now at $34-01 each.

The link below shows the page hopefully ( item 616-100-974-01 )

PRS has rebuilt carbs for me in the past so probably have the parts.
