    Float needles, BS30SS carbs - ???

    Hey yall, I'm almost finished working the 300 - just four more foreseeable projects and she'll be complete. One thing I noticed though, the float needles don't seem to seal well. Not that they're worn any, they actually look brand new. Even after all the miles and years, they still have no wear lines on them. But they have a solid tip, going into a solid plastic seat. Should they be rubber tipped? Or are the seats missing anything like a rubber washer or O-ring of sorts?

    What has me wondering is that when the bike idles for an extended period, the idle quality drops. I can blip the throttle and it stumbles or even dies altogether, telling of a rich condition that is not there except when idling for awhile.

    Yall's thoughts?
Working...
