Float needles

Not 100% sure but are float needles for K8 Viton tipped? Would they fit K4 carbs for more consistent fuel control, and no overflows.

I think the needle design was different for the K8 than K4. You might be able to modify I suppose.

I ordered them from DSL so soon I will know. Want to have Viton tip=no leaks i presume and steady level, for consistent mixture. Maybe this is over engineering but why all newer machines then have rubber/viton tip?

The 78k has rubber tips but unless the valve seat isclean, it will still leak.
