Project Fat Nikki

Added the return to the carb and ran a return line to the tank. Also pulled the top and
massaged the new needle valves to fix the sticking. Noticed the new needles have a much stiffer
internal spring that the old ones. Anyway, turned the key the first time and my bowls
runneth over. Tap tap on the top fixed it for now. I may go back to the original valve or
needles anyway to see if that fixes it.

Also when adjusting the floats it seemed like they would settle differently every time I
measured them when the top was upside down. The drop was always consistent. I think
I'm seeing the needles bind. I'll try the old needles next if it continues to flood. Don't
trust the new ones much now.
