Hi Norm,
Send me the troubled set of primer cap, needle and float that pissed out fuel. I will do the investigation and I will check seat with a microscope. One of the issue I have incountered same problem with the new primer cap and needle is when I test with a particular aftermarket float with a know issue. Once done with my investigations, I will send you a new set with my finding. Hoping your primer cap seat and needle tip were not deformed or damaged when polished with Autosol due needle sticking. Since we have the new lever, polishing the seat and needle is not required. PM me thanks.
Cheers,
CM
