Hi NormK,
Thanks for creating a new thread. It's getting cluttered. To focus mainly on the first topic helps everyone to refer to the thread in the future. Yes I understand it is difficult to install the clip with your method and it's likely it won't pull the needle when float is fully opened. It is really difficult to hold and insert the needle into the clip when float is already installed. I suggest you create one again same with my prototype and method of installation. With my prototype, I have the clip in horizontal position almost 4 degrees from the center of the pivot pin with the lever is 0.1mm gap (not touching) from the back of the float. At full float open position, the clip is almost on -5 degrees from the center of the pivot pin. This will surely pulls the needle but with this angle, you need to install the needle with the clip first without the float then pull the clip at -30 degrees to insert the float. I made the material with 0.2mm brass to allow the clip to flex during installation. I might thinking of creating a YouTube clip how to install this clip as this is very tricky to install and the clip can't be made rigid. Could you please create a link to previous thread for reference on images and details of the lever.
Cheers,
