Stick with it. You are getting closer and learning a lot.

Thank John....I'll try that if it is still too sticky with the proper side flathead.
And yes, I have learned a ton about my engine through all this, non of this has been time wasted since I gained so much knowledge an confidence in my engine now.
And Just FYI everyone...went back down to check on it and there was no more fuel leaking out or gas smell. But with that said, I did have the valve at the tank shut off.
I'll be removing and replacing the needle and seat very soon.
