OK so welding in new metal into the area I was talking about before is not as hard as I thought it would be but I forgot to take pics.
I have been dissembling the Rochester carburetor. Been taking my time and photographing everything along the way.
I do have one question for anyone that has ever rebuilt this carb. I clipped a photo (below) of the 4GC manual that I am using to guide me. I removed the both floats and then got hung up on item number 6. It says "Remove the pumps return spring from the pump well with a pair of long nose pliers". However, my 4GC has this small bar across the hole (I am pointing to it in the second image below) and its not wanting to come out. I am afraid of breaking it.
Anyone familiar with removing this tiny little item have any tips on this?
