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>

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>
