you did it wrong...

DJEEPER ( and Groucho),
You were right --a couple more tries and I fixed it. I was bending the wrong prongs. I needed to bend the 2 small ones to hold the pin tighter in the seat. But I did bent the larger ones, that helped the float to put more presure on the pin. It is shown in Groucho's photo if you look closely.
Thanks
