Several years ago I had problems with flooding in my AH Hundred.
Without taking time to investigate I ordered and installed Grose
Jets - same problem. A little effort and serious observation and I
discovered that the float arm was bent in a way that it did not fully
press the Grose Jet or the needle valve to the orfice to shut the fuel
off. Re-bent the arm to press the needle fully home and inline with
the needle housing - no problem since.
