    What is this little curly spring in the lower right corner? I don't have one. What's it's purpose? When reading about or asked if I'm using the spring, I assumed the spring on the end of the needle was the subject. In the video Hilly gave me the link for, they say this : "il bet low is correct
    9 of 10 leaking bendix is due to incorrect helper spring install.
    one end of srring goes under the float tab (on opposite face of needle heel contact)
    AND OTHER END BEARS ON WALL OF FLOAT BOWL. it does not lie between bowl and gasket. "
    Which spring are they talking about?

    The one in the bottom right of that picture is the varmint in question and the one I ment, sorry I should have been clearer, it stops the needle from sticking shut.
    Check this out, watch the little videos, they make clear how it should work.

    I'm learning just the same as you Merv, the only thing I knew before was there is a 3/16 drill bit method to set the float and don't mess the float spring up, I'd never actually done either but now I reckon I could 😁
