Me too.
It's not perfect. This photo shows that the post is leaning a little outboard. I'm going to make a small spacer so the float doesn't move to the right as shown in the photo. If that's the worst thing I'll call it good though.

Beats the heck out of tossing the carb.

Got the carb and it looks good. The welder dude Jim was awesome. He told me that fixing carbs is "the fun stuff." I highly recommend him. Total cost including shipping both ways was $57.
