Nice one Jonesy. Those pins break very easily.

Was stripping down the carbs this arvo and came across some stubborn pins that the floats hinge on. After a while of tapping and so on and getting nowhere and not wanting to get too heavy handed.......there was evidence of a broken post from a previous owner getting carried away. I decide to knock up this little tool from scrap lying around...worked better than expected too.
