Fixing a sticky needle valve

Posted by Dennis Gauge on August 04, 2005 at 08:46:16 from (64.80.110.38):

Back when I got my Super H, the needle valve wouldn't close and it dumped gas all over the floor. We tore it down and replaced the needle valve, reset the float to stock specs. Everything seemed to be working well, so we put it back together and on the tractor.

Now all of a sudden the needle valve seems to be sticking closed. The tractor will fire right up and run great for a while. After a few minutes, it suddenly dies, catches, and dies for good. A few minutes later, it fires right back up again and runs like a top.

Sounds like a classic sticky needle valve, but I don't remember the solution. It's a new needle valve, so it shouldn't be sticking, right?
