[QUOTE="Cyborg, post: 173695, member: 3426"] Vic, Yes I understand these seals are meant for shafts. I don’t know if my suggestion makes sense and I realize the lip is flexible and would need to be supported to maintain a good seal and consistent level. The seal in the link is FKM, so same as viton as far as I know. I’m thinking the the V-ring or part of the V-ring could be installed in the seat of the Type 14 float bowl. It would be more difficult to get a piece of viton attached to the Type 14 needle. I’m just guessing at this because I’m not able to get to the shop at the moment to have a look at the seat. The first photo is litnman’s comparison between large type 14 needle and the smaller (I’m assuming) 302 type. Second photo is my type 14 needle showing the area where it seals ( more or less) Those viton needles and seats aren’t of any use on the type 14 style. The needle could be used to modify something like a type 302 top feed. [/QUOTE]
