    you will have to adjust the float level again. You want the fuel just at the bottom of the sight bowl. Fuel level is adjusted with the screw and nut assembly at the top of the float bowl. Yup, same thing as the needle and seat....

    Can't you just screw the needle valve assembly all the way out the top, inspect, rinse well with water, re-install and then set the float?

    If the needle valve cleans up ok, pulling the float bowl is not required.

    Done that one a couple of times.

    Do you have a good fuel filter?

    Yes you can, but if there is grit in the bowl you take the chance of it happening again.
