In Topic: Replacing Float Pin?

27 February 2013 - 03:04 AM

Edit:

I got it! The pin holding the float on pounded through, I think it can go either way, I hammered on a skinny allen wrench placed on the end of the pin.

After removing the float I "Tightened" the float adjustment screw down through the carb and out the bottom, Bingo!

I saw in the carb tutorial at the top of the carb forum page that you wern't supposed to mess with thie "painted" screw on the carb as your car wouldnt run right afterwards. This is called the float adjustment screw and I'm pretty sure this is just caused by the damaging of the brittle old o-ring inside when you turn the screw, causing all sorts of problems. you can pull the whole assembly out as described above and replace the o-rings! Easy! (after you get the stupid float off! haha)
