I'm still struggling to find an OEM needle valve for my trx250a, the aftermarket variants work but are only lasting a short amount of time, I'm assuming the rubber tips are made as cheaply as possible and are passing fuel somehow. Very annoying..
Does anybody know if trx300 fourtrax are the same size/taper? I don't have one to try but would be such a simple fix if they are the same. Or, are any other Honda ATV's needle valves the same size/fitment?

The Float valve in the carb...? If so, they are still available but expensive:

16155-413-751 VALVE, FLOAT

just buy a carb rebuild kit !!..lol. shindy or moose brands are good, I've used both in the past, but I favor shindy over moose.

I think Sam is looking to find an OEM only, so he can fix it right this time. He's tired of replacing the aftermarket garbage.

I've not once had a problem with shindy carb kits, and I have used tons of them through the years. it very well can be a worn valve seat ?.

Good point! No doubt the seat is worn too, seeing as its over 30 years old. I'd bet an OEM valve would fix it though.
