There must be a needle valve under each float or gas will run everywhere. I'm wondering if the needle in the kit you see is for the pump discharge check valve. It is solid brass. The needles for the float are probably with the seats in the kit. They will have a rubber tip. Every kit comes with new needles & seats.
