Marvel Carb float pin
Any suggestions on how to remove a stubborn float pin from a Marvel carb. I have soaked it with Kroil but it still won't budge. I've tried lightly tapping the pin, but it doesn't want to move. ThanksMarvel Carb.jpg for any help.

Re: Marvel Carb float pin
Have you tried gripping it w/vise-grips to see if it will rotate (gently)?

Re: Marvel Carb float pin
I would make a pin pusher from a C-clamp. At the fixed end, use a cut off wheel to cut a slot as shown for one end of the pin to lay in. At the screw end, use a Dremel to make a divot in the center for the end of the pin to stay centered. Maybe even tack weld that pivitoting screw end to the screw so it doesn't flop around. This should easily push the pin out.

Fortunately with a soaking of Kroil and a few taps with a light hammer I was able to get the pin out. Now it's just the main jet that needs to be removed before the rebuild can start.

Founded in 1923 by Burt Pierce, the brand has remained legendary for over 90 years. Pierce’s reputation for ingenuity preceded him as he was already well-known for inventing the Marvel Carburetor, standard equipment on 80% of all vehicles produced after World War I. Vehicles of the post WWI era encountered carburetor problems, the most perplexing being clogged jets due to high lead content and other contaminants found in the gasoline of the time. The problem motivated Pierce to direct his creative ingenuity towards formulating a blend of chemicals and petroleum products to clean and maintain clogged jets. He was successful beyond his wildest expectations and the legend of MMO was born.
