93 polaris 350L carb

I am replacing the fuel inlet valve needle, seat and gasket on this Mikuni carb. The problem is, how do I remove the pin holding the float arm? It appears I have to remove the arm in order to get the valve needle, seat and gasket out. At least without damaging anything. If anyone can help I would appreciate it. Thanks.

I did try that but it does not want to move, but it may just be gummed up. I will try again. Thanks.

Give it a slight tap with something, sometimes they are stuck in there a bit.

Glad you got the pin out,sometimes they are a bit tricky! I use a pencil type pin punch to get the pins unstuck,BUT you have to be careful and hold BOTH float posts while you do it or you can break a post!
