Earl - I don't understand what you're asking and saying here:

"Put in a new float valve and now I have to replace the brass washer for the throttle shaft. I was thinking of cutting the old one with a Dremel. Is there a better way? "

Don't know what the float "valve" is, and don't know what the brass washer is.

Earl-

How about some pics to help explain things???

If you're talking about the bronze washer used on the throttle shaft it'll depend on the throttle linkage. One type is removable and one isn't. If yours is removable then Hillman makes a bronze washer that fits very nicely in a recess. Any hardware store that sells Hillman can order them if not in stock. The part number is 58087-A.

I'm a little stumped about this "float valve" myself. Is that another name for the needle valve?

Earl,

Spirol pins are used on rockshafts and driveshafts to expand and tightly fit in the holes to avoid the minute "hammering" effect that a solid slip fit pin experiences. This hammering eventually wallows out the hole....in the long run it's a bigger issue......but it's a LONG run......

Just an FYI concerning the grade 8 bolt you discussed below......

Sounds like it's running a bit faster than 3600 also......

Cool, Charlie! Had to watch/stop/reverse several times. Quite a 122! Wondering what life would be like if Facebook had been around when his sister was introduced to the world.
