Post by: lms6201 on October 08, 2008, 06:55:43 am

i,ve broken off one of the float pin lugs , but i have just seen the other one has been broken before and has been repaired with a machined up lug attached to the body with a 3mm threaded rod , half in new lug half in carb/remaining lug , was this a bought repair kit or would it hahe been made up by someone ?

I had trouble with those float pin posts on a four cylinder.broke the first one gently tapping it out >:( then had the idea of a bit of heat with the heat gun.Used the owners  heat gun and promptly melted the solder out of the floats :o apparantley it was an industrial heatgun with much more heat than my own :-[

anyway we made a new post up that was captured by the float valve setup and with one new float it ran for quite a few years in a speedway racecar.
