Well, no, hadnt thot of that,, just wondering what youre thinking is. I looked at it, saw it was funky, & didnt even think "water" till you said it.. I sure cant say thats not right,, I know Ive never seen the inside of a carb that color, so, Im goin with ya on Water bing involved, Im just asking whaere you think it might have come from.. You suppose its from water absorbed by the gas in the bowl? Or is humidity enough to do that?

Get the carb looking all factory fresh. All new jets on the way. With the shape this pig was in, I don't trust the existing jets. Now I just need to figure out how to get the #@/x*¿ float pin out. I've pushed. I've tried heat. I've tried WD40. I tried swearing. Nothing.

Mine wasnt sticking out either, so What I did is find a small diameter nail, cut off the pointy end with my grinder and tapped the nail against the pivot pin on the opposite of the flat head side ever so lightly, and eventually it stuck out enough to where I pulled it out with wire cutters. Really smooth and no damage at all to the pivot pin

I've seen someone break one of the supports off. Apply some penetrating oil. then I'd bridge the 2 with a clamp. Then punch it out.
