Bob,
Just got back from a nice 2 hr spin through the mountains. Got the PB Blaster at NAPA it's soaking in now. The carb on the other side came apart easy, just enough pin to get a hold on. I agree about shaving the end of the float, what I was thinking was use the Dremel to make a little gap in the middle of the float hinge where I could grip it with the needle nose and then slide it sideways enough to get a grip on it and pull it out. But I went for a ride instead :-) In case you didn't know New Mexico is known as the land of "manana" .
Steve

STEVE/BRETT - Brett is right you could shave some of the float away and with needle nose grip the pin and try to move it sideways out the hole but then when you reassemble the float may not stay centered on the pin, because it no longer has the same dimensions and may then not be able to seat the needle valve correctly. Brett, do you agree? I'm just speculating. Bob

This, of course, was after several drenchings with PB Blaster...good luck, and remember those aluminum supports are probably kinda easy to break! Brett in Indy
