Float hinge removal?

Post by Egz »

I am in the process of replacing the valves on my carburetor floats, but I cannot seem to get the pin removed that holds the the forks in place. Is there a trick before I resort to the "more force" technique?

Yes there is!!! I don't remember what it is but I felt foolish after playing with it for 15 minutes before I figured it out

Figured it out. One side is knurled, so it ends up I was just pulling on it the wrong way.
