Gotta tell ya. That spring loaded center punch trick to remove the float pins worked awesome! Never needed to use it on any other carb I've worked on but for some reason these yammi carbs pins are tight! Of course the pin almost ripped the skin off my finger when it came shooting out but well worth it! No more panic attacks wondering if I'm going to snap the post off.
Best nine bucks I ever spent!
Oh yeah, in case you guys didn't know, "Bumbles Bounce" haha (Great avatar Chris)
 
Bought mine for $4.00 at Royal Distrubuters. Very exicted to use it only to be disappointed that my filter hats were already spotless after 6,000 miles.

Damn.

I bought it while I was in the store. Didn't see it online or in the catalogue. You can try searching though.

Those characters are still my favorite of all time from my childhood. I still have all the movies on "VHS". My daughter doesnt event remember VHS. LOL! She has them all on DVD! They just make me think of winter and my late mother and father so thats why i use them. I do hope hermy finally got to be a dentist!! Ill have to pull him out too at some point. Gotta give RX-1JIM the credit for that center punch trick once again. Works like magic on all three of my carbs again this year. It does shock ya the first time dont it! LOL!!! Got me too. Chris

Those were good times. Waiting for the Christmas specials to appear on TV (without Internet, VHS, DVD, etc.). Loved the Grinch, Rudolf, Frosty, Charlie Brown, etc. Best times of my childhood. Also Laurel and Hardy at Christmas Time. Now my son wants to play latest Call Of Duty Game and browse youtube.

Technology sucks!!

Thank you RX-1JIM for the tip.!!! (Couldn't remember who had originally posted that tip).
Gotta love all those Christmas movies. Back when I was a kid it seemed like they were all a couple hours long. Now I watch them and they're only like a half an hour. I still laugh my *** off everytime Yukon hammers the iceberg and makes that licking sound. We watch em' all every year.
Technology does suck sometimes! My son is going on 9 so I can still tell him what to do, lol!! I keep telling him that his days of slacking are coming to an end. They'll be a whole lot more splitting wood, mowing, raking the lawn (not just a 10 ft. circle) and not so much time on that damm Playstation 3. (although I do enjoy it once in a while).
Good times though. They're only young once...........
Gotta go finish up prepping the sled. BTW, 2 pilots were clogged shut. Rest of the carbs were spotless. Even the tophats.

Whats that game that you can link anything back to anything in 6 moves. 6 degrees of keven bacon was the start of it. You can link kevin bacon to any actor withing 6 people. Pretty sure they link it to anything now and this is how it starts!!! LOL!!!
