Hi CM,
I will PM you but with this float needle I gave the cap a hit with a screwdriver handle and that stopped the fuel coming out but once they have flooded like that the damage is done and then I have to remove the plug and pull it over several times to clear the excess fuel. Not a problem to me just an annoyance but if somebody has taken the mower home and then it plays up (over the time I have had many do that) I then have to go to their place to get it running again, they have then lost confidence in the reliability of the mower. One place I ended up going to 3 times to replace the primer cap and needle, luckily it was not too far away
