just anupdate, pulling carbs and when you pull the floats out it'd probs be best to haev some new seals for there, i got two in out no bothere but the other two were a little tight and there is no way them babys will go back

mabey if left for a couple of days but . . . just best to as i found out

just to say it... you want those floats to be good and tight. the alternative is they leak and flood like mad. Some people use various bits of lube to get them to slide back in, though I can't comment on the advisability of that.
