    Needle Valve in Zenith 36 Carb on IIA?

    Haven't been able to find JUST the needle valve for sale on our hosts site...

    While cleaning the carb today I noticed the tip / point of the needle itself has a very slight amount of wear. thinking this could be part of an acceleration problem and I want to replace it.

    Any suggestions on where to get one?

    If you find one, get two. I need one too...in cleaning/rebuilding my Zenith, the tip of the needle valve twisted off inside the carb. I got the body of the needle valve out (when I realised which way to turn the darn thing), but the little tip remains in the carb effectively making the thing useless. I had to replace the carb with a refurbished one and keep the original as spare...but I'd like to get it fully rebuilt.

    I know, I know, these things aren't designed to screw in tight. No excuse.
