some of the needle's don't have clips
what is the problem with the carby ?

i have one of those carby's here, a spare off my pocket bike.

it keep flooding and over flowing out the over flow tube and is very hard too start once it been turned off for a while

ok,
have you tried turning the fuel tap on, then blowing compressed air through the Seat, where the Needle sits ?
it may have something stuck in there (dirt etc), making the Needle not seal off into the Seat?

i would also take the Fuel Tap apart, and check that there isn't any dirt in behind the seal.
make sure you dry the Seal off well, as soon as you you pull it out, they can swell a little, and it'll be hard to refit it.
blow through the Fuel Hose Barb, and watch if anything comes out.

reconnect the hose, holding the carby upright and turn the fuel tap on
now lift the Float Arm and see if it stops the flow before it hits up in the underside of the carby.



if it doesn't stop the fuel from coming out,
can you post a pic of the Carby upside down, with the Fuel Bowl removed?
i need to see the angle of the Float Arm sitting against the pin of the Needle and Seat

I think i may just need a few new gaskets where can i buy some

 

[my67xr]

the china gaskets are cheap and nasty, i usually make my own.

most good auto parts places sell it on a roll, i picked up a 250mm x 1000mm x 1mm thick roll for $5.
i have quite a few different sized punches, and sharp Olfa box cutters i use.
and just trace around the old gasket or the manifold etc then cut them out as i need them, even make a couple of spares to take with me when i go riding
