HI Roger,,,,if you cannot get a carb the tower is fixable,,,,do a seach for float pin tower fix,,,,usually drill a hole in both piece, epoxy in a small rod. A spring loaded pin pusher can save a lot of grief getting those pins out, harbor frieght,,,lube the pin, brace the tower with your finger and use the spring push pin and tower will be saved. Good luck, keep us informed, maybe others can chime in, I know its been a problem with carb work for these bikes,,,,,,,Mike in S.DIego, Pa. -

If you buy replacement pins they just slide in and out loosely. They don't actually need to be press fitted because the carb bowl holds them in place anyway.2 - 80 LGs bought one new
