[QUOTE="brian gains, post: 121837, member: 3153"] as per Robert's comment, the guide pins that the floats go up and down on were what I was referring to. But of course the pivot pin on the float tang is another possible problem area. Pulled my rear carb yesterday which still had signs of silt in the bowl and that's with new fuel lines, in line filters and Caswell liner. That stuff is pernicious, where does it hide away, To cap it all the front carb' rubber manifold seems to be losing integrity and not holding carb' firmly. Winter lay ups are bad enough, add a forced lock down and the term 'use it or lose it' becomes more widely relevant. [/QUOTE]
