Marc,

Before disassembling the carb smack the float lid with a soft hammer.

The temp sender can be a *itch to remove if you're unlucky. You'll have to
empty most of the AF first. Mike Koken sent me a neat sender which is one
piece and has a o-ring. I couldn't find it by where I live but he has a
"connection" for it.

Mike
