Thanks for all the help on the last set of questions. I'm moving along 

nicely. One more, though. I'm getting a little fuel coming out the vent 

lines, and my idle seems to wander between 1800 and 2200, mostly towards 

2200. I seem to remember a problem with "weak / bad" float needles in 

the past and wonder if my engine might be of that vintage. (Purchased 

new 2011.) Are there different "strength" float needles for 912's? I 

haven't sync'd the carbs yet, but don't think things are running 

exceptionally rough. (At least not by 582 standards!) I'll do so this 

week but are the carb floats that sensitive to vibration?

Larry,

Thanks again for the reminder and sorry I needed it.  Attached is the 

picture.  And you are correct, the hole is drilled right through the weld 

bead.  Typically, I will dill a 1/8" hole as a pilot hole then go up to the 

3/16.
