<DIV><BR></DIV>What Eric describes is exactly what I was going to say; he beat
me to it. I remember years ago, sitting at a contest in Louisiana,
trying to get the carb out of an OS 61LS. It was a hot, steamy day and I
was in a hurry. However the carb was not in a hurry. After
sweating for an hour, rotating the carb back and forth, it finally came out.
Be patient; just keep rotating and pulling; it will come out. BTW,
"ali" must be Scot for aluminum.<BR><BR>Ron Van Putte<BR><BR>Henderson,Eric

<DIV><SPAN class=550050215-03022003><FONT face=Arial
size=2> Sounds like the
Ali of the carb body is scuffed-up inside. The trick is to loosen the
nut and tap the pin in gently about two threads. Then the carb can
be rotated a little each way. Gradually rotate in opposite directions, to the
limits, to smooth out the roughness in the Ali, and better position the
pin. (At some point you should be able to go all the way until it hits the
engine case). At the same time keep pulling gently. Had a couple that did this
to me. No problematic damage. just a pain.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
