right on.... I had no idea it would cost that much for a simple part like that... the one DK gave me was somewhere less than $10... I thought like $5....

the resurfacing has to wait until this weekend.... if it doesn't pan out Sudco is on my list.... thanks for all the help

10 minutes sure beats having it shipped! I'd love to put up with that.

The part in the catalog is $13.99

Good luck on getting it going!

Yes and yes.

Ask for fine valve grinding paste. Clover brand works good if they carry it. Usually comes in a two sided can. Fine paste in one side and coarse in the other side. Use the fine compound.

Lap the needle JUST ENOUGH to seal it. If you lap it too much it could wear a ring in it and cause it to stick in the seat.

You can also use toothpaste or cleanser as a final lapping paste. This is much finer than the valve lapping compound.

Good luck. :cool:
