Forgot to state to dip pins in jb weld and place into 1/16 holes. Check to insure their even. After jb weld dries, you can fine tune the pins, they are a little flexible, just don't move them around too much, they will snap.

For carb to work as intended, float heigh must be set exact same as original brackets.

That's why I measured every thing down to the millimeter. And the float tab bends enough to make a good seal.

Not a bad idea. I would have used some type of a bar aluminum and drilled a hole through them both for just the proper float pivot pin fit. I would have milled off the two areas flat and drilled both the carb body and the two aluminum parts so a dowel metal pin could be used to attach them. But that is only if I couldn't find another suitable carb body. And the looks of your, there would be a lot of carb bodies to select from. JMHO

Trust me, I looked for a used replacement carb, couldn't find one. And I don't have the money for a $220 replacement. The tabs of the old carburetor broke unevenly and the guy I gave it to weld melted one tab into a ball of zinc. So, I measured three times then drilled 1/16 hole, 1 centimeter deep. Bottom of ring ( hole that float pin fits)
3 mm. About to go test it now.

Nope, screwed the pooch on this one. Time to by a new one.

Do you know what make the carb is? It could be possible to find a carb body off a used engine or maybe even a replacement from a carb manufacture company. Check it out well for any carb numbers and see. JMHO

Time was my biggest issue, my son Graduated high school Friday night and Sunday we are heading to the marsh below new Orleans for a week. He picked that as his senior trip with me and his friend. Better than me having to worry about him going to Florida with the rest of the dumb dumb. So picked up one at a not so local shop. The old carburetor needle valve was sticking.
