The needle seems to keep getting stuck open. I pull it, blow it out with compressed air, and re-set the float level. Then I drive it or run it and next thing the site window is full and fuel continues to come out the carb.

No doubt I've got junk in the line as I've replaced everything from the fuel tank to the carb. I've now also installed an Earl's inline filter after the fuel pump in addition to the filter just after the fuel tank connection.

Any ideas on how to flush the line, or do I just keep running it and cleaning the needle when it sticks?
Thanks!
Scott
