    CV carb float pin removal

    I have posted this before but some may not have seen it and it may not be in the carb tutorial yet.
    As I just happened to be doing a set, I thought that I would try to record it, again.

    Nice that you made the video Eric but Ed's procedure is a lot simpler in my opinion

        Cowboy, with all of the sets of CV carbs that you have worked on in the past 30 years,
        do you also grease the tract that the throttle cable rides in with synthetic grease to help prevent cable failure also?

          Cowboy, while I have your expert advice available, what is your take on my using anti-seize or grease on the intake manifold clamp screws and idle screw?
          Good idea or a waste of time?

            Don't say can't, as anything is possible with time and effort, but, if you don't have time things get tougher and require more effort.

              +1 to this. The pin has the press fit on the head end. That's the one that needs support. Also, don't slip and stab your thumb with the punch.

                The spring punch looks like a fine solution only supporting the float post first just to be safe is advised.

                  Once I get a set of pins out for the first time I don't seat them completely when reassembling. The pins won't go anywhere and then I can get a small pocket knife or screwdriver under the head of the pin to get them out easily from then on.

                    I bought one of those spring loaded punches a while back based on kparkfans suggestion for this very reason. Darn handy idea, though I wish I could find a punch with a slightly weaker spring on it. I also double Ed and Rays sentiment on supporting the post with something to prevent that horrible "oops". Been there and learned the bad way.

                        Aren't these adjustable? the back is a knurled nut, lefty loosey and righty tighty?
