Well you could buy 12 needle valves and sell 11 of them on eBay. CTS has a package of 12 Briggs PN 715155 on Amazon for around $10 including shipping.

I saw those but wasn't sure about them. The first page I get to on amazon shows up but doesn't give an option to buy them. When you click on See All Buying Options it shows 12 of these and they are $4.77.
I might give it a go. Last time I bought something like this it took three months to get it. I had rather have an OEM but right now I don't see another option.

I just ordered 12 of these needle valves. If someone here needs one I will just send it free in an envelope . Slow from China I would think but they claim I will get it by the 7th. Total of $8.76. Thanks KE4AVB.

Have not got the needle valve yet. Its been 12 days and amazon -china tracking shows much of nothing. I thought I had the old one fixed today but after about an hour its started leaking. I don't want gas going into this engine so I guess I will wait it out.
Next problem is what would I use to clean the pilot jet ? The part number for the jet is 710321. The two bottom holes are open but I can't get anything down to those holes through the center and I don't want to mess it up. I tried the smallest torch cleaner I had and nothing. Its plugged . Any suggested appreciated.

I kept messing with the needle valve and right now its not leaking. Carburetor is clean except for the pilot. It might need checking again. I even got the emulsion tube out and its clean now.
It hunts when running. I can move the choke a tad and it levels out with no hunting. Might be better if I put the air cleaner back on. I set it to 60 hz . It shows 123 volts at outlet so that part is now good. It doesn't hunt as bad when under a load . This may be how these engines run. Back with more updates later.

The amazing thing about the internet. I placed the order on the 12 needle valves 17 days ago and today they arrived. The look like OEM.

All the way from ShaTian,DongGuan, China to a small place in Alabama. $8.76 is what they cost me. Not sure how anyone could come out shipping something this far

KE4AVB found these for me and if not for him and the company in China plus a few airplanes and of course amazon I wouldn't have them right now so THANKS to KEAVB for your help.
