Hi All

I finally got my Atco MK 25 started after a new coil and condenser. It starts first pull every time. However it’s flooding and as far as I can see there is no ‘o’ ring it the needle valve seat. Has anybody fitted one if you have do you have the size please. Cheers

As far as I remember it has a metal needle shutting on a metal seat. Lapping with a bit of Brasso or SolvAutosol may sort it.

Hi again 

your right again it’s steel on aluminium. It’s taken me ages to get the forked float lever in the right position as well, how tight is the tolerance on that!!! 1mm the wrong way and the float jams the needle shut.  I’ll try lapping, more satisfying than just sticking an O ring in actually cheers again
