Bearing in mind the range of fittings that you could have I would try both and go for the one that gave the highest float position without causing the carb to flood and drip fuel.

One is for the brass float and the other for the new plastic one. Old needles only had the one. The one for the plastic float is the lower one..further down from the top. Old needles only had the upper groove (from my sample of two..)
