Merc 50 float fulcrum removal? Float fulcrum removal on Walbro wma3

[rocknroj]

Thanks in advance for answers. Just got the boat, waiting for a manual. Trying to replace the carb gaskets and needle valve. The float fulcrum sat flush on one side and extended out on the other. Gently drove it out with a punch from the flush side and see that the flush side is serrated. Doesn't seem to want to go out through the other side. Did I do it the wrong way? Its a 1985 Merc 50hp, walbro wma3 carbs. Here's the picture of what I am talking about.. http://i1310.photobucket.com/albums/s644/rocknroj/float_fulcrum_zps2cbac346.jpg

The smooth end of the pin is inserted first when installing and the splined end will be flush when done. So push the pin out from the protruding end. I use a pair of needle nose pliers placed just so to remove and reinstall. It looks like you drove the pin out the wrong side and it looks bent.

Also I'm going to remove your duplicate topic so members will only post in this one. Less confusion with one post.

May want to buy a new pin, unless you can straighten that one.
