It works!?!?!? Im thinking it was the needle valve seat AND/OR needle valve itself. The seat did insert tighter than the old. Im thinking the o-ring was worn out. Seems to no flood anymore. ...

Since the #120 main and the #52.5 starter jet will thread and fit into either place, i suppose I could have installed the #120 into the starter jet previously. Would this have caused it to flood?

Sounds like it.
The part that the valve needle seat is inserted into, the 10mm hollowed out bolt, for lack of a better term, is what the needle valve is currently resting in right now. Maybe it is...
