 That was my only experience with Grose jets too, even with a fuel pressure=
 regulator set low. Seemed like a decent idea conceptually but didn't work =
well in practice. Possibly their comparatively large seating area makes the=
 float pressure inadequate to hold off the fuel pressure?Gary

 Anyone have experience with needle valves that do not have the spring load=
ed contact where the needle valve rests on the float? Is a solid one better=
, worse, or require different set up?
