    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Pullin the pin on carbs

I found a good way to pull the float pins. Use a worn out or spare pair of diagonal cutters. Grind the back side ( shallow ) side down flat to the cutting edge. It will fit behind the flat end of the pin and pull it. This is the end that is larger and wedges into the post. I do not know why the pin is made this way because it can not come out with the float bowl installed . There is not enough room. I am going to look for a rod the same dia and cut my own.
 
i use a spring loaded center punch. Its a real small one, about the size of a pen. There is no chance of damage to the carb since your not hitting it with anything, and no modification.
 
i smack a philips screwdriver in a little bit so it just knocks out the other end a hair and then i grab it with pliers, comes right out.
 
There's no need to seat them up against the towers again once you have them out the first time. At least that way in the future they are easier to get out.
