The float shaft should hold tight. This old carb isn't like new ones. There is enough room for it to slide out. If you use the screwdriver in the slot below and turn it they will open enough to slide the pin in. When released it will grip it. Good video.
I've got to say that I like the This man a lot he takes the time to show these young people how to rebuild a carb I really like hanging around fellas like this you can learn a lot love it!!!
was disapointed the new kit didnt provide for a retainer spring to prevent the needle from sticking like they use on brigs and straton just a little clip to tye the needle to the float traveling up and down
I'm sure this gentleman has experience but this video leaves a lot out. All parts should be cleaned by chemical soaking to clean internal passages and rust needs to be removed as it can break free and ruin this "rebuild" later. THe float rod is held in place by the body when assembled and does not need to be "clamped". Another problem with old cast iron items is warping and distortion that can not always prevent later leakage problem. These mating surfaces should be checked and surfave ground or hand filed if the rebuilder knows how to do so without causing more damage.

I would like to say how much I appreciate you taking time to make this video. I rebuilt mine with help from this video. Thank you so much.

The gasket will take care of the mating surface as long as it is cleaned properly.
What rebuild kit did he use? Mine came without instructions, and it looks like his carburetor is identical to mine.
you need a pair of water pump pliers
He couldn't get it in the hole.
