Think i might have stumbled upon the reason for carby flooding,  putting the float and pin together in No: 1  the float was sticking? Nothing rubbing or touching anywhere! what the? Pulled the float and pin back out and put the 2 together off the carb and still not moving freely............bent pin, how does that happen?

Thanks Horn
Chrisso, no worries, gators are not for you and flames n skulls are not for me, keeping the ol girl alive is the main thing, and you definitely did that.
