Product details
A float pin hairpin cotter is the small clip that keeps the float pivot pin from sliding out, and PM-O118-1 is the PMO version for PMO Induction carburetors. One straight leg passes through the cross-hole in the pin and the curved leg wraps the outside, so it pushes on and pulls off by hand. If the clip goes missing, the pin can walk out and the float can drop or bind, which upsets fuel level in that carburetor. It is priced each.
The clip comes off whenever the float is removed to set float level, change a needle valve, or clean the bowl. PMO's rebuild kits (PM-O700-0, PM-O700-1, and PM-O700-2) carry needle valves, float shims, and gaskets, but a float pin cotter is not on their published parts lists, so add a spare to a rebuild order.

Fitment & Compatibility
For PMO Induction 40mm, 46mm, and 50mm carburetors. A Weber IDA float pivots on a safety-wired bolt and washer, so check how the float is retained on a Weber before ordering this clip for one.
Common Questions
Can I reuse my old clip?
Yes, if it still snaps firmly onto the pin. Replace a clip that slides on loosely or has a kink.
Does the PMO rebuild kit include this clip?
It is not on the published parts list for the PM-O700 kits, so order it separately.
