got a carb rebuild kit for the MarvelSchebler (sp?) TSX616 carb from NAPA. There is a small spring with it that the instructions shows goes onto the float valve (float valve kinda has a pin head). I put it on and it "looks ok" and the float seems to move ok. I had never seen this before and I was wondering what this is for and how does it work??? The reason for the rebuild was to fix a stuck float (flooding/overflow on the floor) so I don"t want any more difficulty with the float. Thanks for the feedback

When I worked at the local carb. rebuild shop I was instructed to not put those in. I think the owner had some bad experiences with them causing the needle to bind up ? Did you check your float for leaking gas inside of it ?

I checked the float as best I could. There where no bubbles when I submerged it. and it didn"t have any gas in it when I took things apart. I left the clip on. Hopefully it won"t cause problems:) Thanks for the feed backs. At least I know what its for now.

That spring or clip is to help keep the needle from sticking in the seat. Can happen when an engine is not run for a while and the bowl is full of gas when shut down. Also if a piece of foreign matter (grit, rust, etc) gets into the needle valve.

The clip causes the weight float to assist in opening the needle as the float drops in the bowl.

Also clip helps keep the needle in place when you remove/reinstall the carb bowl with the carb mounted on the engine. (Imagine trying to find a needle that's dropped into wheat stubble during an emergency "carburetor field rebuild"!)
