Weber Float Problem...Help!

[wwwcad]

Hi All,

I am rebuilding my Webers for the 912 and I can't figure out how to remove the brass pin that holds the float mechanism in the carb. Any suggestions on how to remove it? I have a Weber parts schematic but it doesn't help me with the pin removal. I don't want to wreck the pin fitting by forcing it unless that's OK to do.

I really need to get these things apart tonight so we can have them cleaned tomorrow! Thanks!

I was just reading about this, it says "using a suitable diameter metal drift, tap the fulcrum pin from the support posts. Do not attempt to prise the split post apart."

"Note which way round the needle valve return hook is positioned, then lift the float assembly and needle from the cover, unhook the needle from the float arm."

hope this helps

Hi Craig,

Sounds logical to me. While we were working on it, I asked my son to go to the garage and find a nail of similar diameter. He looked at me like I was a little nuts. So, I decided maybe I better ask someone before I attempted the extraction. I also didn't think it was wise to mess with the split arm since I've had my problems in the past with broken cast aluminum and didn't want a repeat of that.

Thanks for the detailed directions!

Regards,
Bill
