Leaking float retaining pin - S&S super B carb
Hi all,
I have a 1985 Softail FXST, and a S&S super B carb on it. Parked it the other day and absentmindedly forgot to turn of fuel petcock for a few minutes, and my carb starts leaking. I've now isolated the leak down to the float retaining pin. If I turn on my fuel line now, maybe one minute later it leaks through that. Picture is below with offending pin circled in red. Now here's the question:
Do I need a full carb rebuild kit and to go through the whole thing, or is this more likely an adjustment I can make or a stuck float or something in that vein?
Any help is appreciated, and I can answer any questions about it. Thanks in advance.
