Just cleaned carb from 50's Buccaneer . It has tangs on the float pin that holds it in place. Can anybody tell me how to adjust it? I assume you seat the pin and then leave some room for the cork to float but any advice is appreciated

Doesn't it have grooves in the float pin? What is the model # of your buccaneer?

The float pin is trapped in place by the float bowl once the carb is assembled. If you are asking how to adjust the float itself, assuming this is an OMC carb and not an older tillotson, you just bend the hanger until the bottom of the float is parallel to the bottom of the carb body when held upside down.
