Talking about carbs, I rebuilt them over the weekend only to find that the first one was installed with the little needle 'safety pin' not hooked to the float tab.  Does anyone know if this matters?.

Most definitely.  That little "safety pin" is the only connection between the floats and the gas inlet needle.  When the float level drops it allows more fuel to enter the bowl.  When the floats rise it shuts off the fuel.

The physical connection is to insure that the needle is drawn down as the float drops.

Thanks, maybe I can remove the bottom sink and insert the pin without removing the carb.

Will start it up tomorrow...
