Re: Carburetor Float Valve Seat Wrench
This is where I'm still confused. See all those pictures Benson and Daryl posted? They all show valve variations that are an assembly- the needle is captured in the seat and the whole assembly is removed by that hex head that is above the surface of the upper body casting. There's no groove or screwdriver or special tool needed to extract the seat- unless maybe the hex part of the assembly broke off, leaving the seat behind embedded deep in the upper body casting?
The model T carbs had a separate seat and needle (pic attached), and the seat had slots that required a special tool to remove. This sounds to me what Brent is describing, but I've never seen a Zenith Model A carb with a float valve like this.
