Hey Guys - Picked up a panther 440 on the cheap and having tons of issues with the carbs. It has a two sets of the VM34 carbs in it. The problem is that the needle and seat keep sticking! Ive cleaned and fixed them a half dozen times and even replaced the needles and seat still no help.

Ideas?

My needle and seat on my Puma stick if I don't take her out once a week. Never found out why. I put on a bulb type primer after the fuel pump. If the bulb is hard (stuck needle in the seat) I just tap on the side of the fuel bowl while squeezing the bulb. A couple of taps and the fuel starts to flow again.

Im guessing thats the ones with a rubber tip? I replaced them at the dealer about 1 month ago but was given the same type of tip that has been in the machine forever! Could you point to where i can find the one new ones?
