My needle is plastic not brass.Would the plastic needle be harder to seat?Are all tillison needle and seats the same? Or do you need to find one for your specific carb model. Thanks again everyone
mel,
what is the history of the carb?
i think i remember sending you a carb?
regardless, typically a plastic needle is white and they were used in alky modified carbs back in the day.
so my experience says you have a older modified alky carb.
typically i see metal needles with plastic tips on most gas carbs .
but now a days they can be found in newer alky carbs as the tips are made with much better material.
if you have an alky carb it will be alot harder to run on gas then a REGULAR CARB.
can you post a pix of the needle?
