Avoiding Broken Float Posts
Due to an interference fit between the float pivot pin and the support post, the post can snap off when driving out the pin. The interference fit is only on one side of the pin, next to the nail head detail. You need to support the float post before driving out the pin. Hopefully the photos are self explanatory.

Nice Ed!
I hope you don't mind. I've added your pictures and text to the Carb Notes page on my little website.
Thank you for your indulgence,

After taking apart the carbs on my recently acquired gs1000g, I found one of the float post already broken and glued back together with who knows what.
So who knows what?! Is there anyway to fix? JB Weld or something? Looking for a good bond that is of course fuel resistant.
