Hiya.

I'm also looking for the said needle valve. I just spoke to Rimmer Brothers & they have no idea what part it is. They reckon it must be the same as on a triumph stromberg & will only have it as one of their part numbers.
Do you know what part number you ordered from them?

They say things happen in threes , well Harry and Ed , I just made it into third place.
My VA 26 started pouring fuel out of the breather vent as I was checking "Annie" over for tomorrows Drive it day. I stripped the carb and tested the needle valve but all seemed ok. Connecting the body to the fuel supply in an inverted state, it allowed me to watch where the leakage was occurring. With the needle valve closed by light finger pressure I found the fuel was by-passing the valve and leaking passed the sealing washer.Right thought I , replace the washer. Still leaking. I tinned the washer and voila sealed.Whilst the iron was hot as it were I tinned the worn float top where the needle valve sits , this should help as I felt the float level was always a bit high.
