Is there a rubber tipped float needle or a kit with a rubber tipped float needle available for the stock LT80 carb ?

 

I emailed Jets R Us

My question:
" Does the float needle in the LT80 Carburetor rebuild kit (SKU 03-210) have the Viton tip? "

" will check with manufacturer "

" The supplier of this part does not know "

funny, eh

Has anyone purchased a LT80 carb kit that has a float valve with the little black Viton rubbery tip on the needle? My carbs all have solid brass float needles. I see pictures of kits with viton tipped needles but not sure if they are pics of the actual kits.

 

I think its just their general rebuild kit pic. cause I havent seen one,but would like to have one cause the tip of the needle gets that ring kind of wore into it and the rubber would seat much better looks like?

 

I'll look in my carb box and see if some are different.
I've never puchaced a rebuild kit so I don't know what they have.
