Message: [QUOTE="shr, post: 550243, member: 29866"] Yes the float pin is a slip fit. Try this, set your carb on a table, on it's air cleaner bell. Now the float pin will be parallel to the table and the engine side of the carb will be pointed straight up. Now tip the carb back and forth to make the float swing a little. Then look at the float needle, it has a spring loaded plunger. Tip the carb to the point of contact but not depressing the spring loaded plunger. It is at this point the float valve shuts off the gas flow. There is a cast parting line molded in the sides of the floats. This line should be parallel to the base of the carb where the float bowl goes (about 16 mm I think) [/QUOTE]
