BS34 Float Help

You have both springs reversed. The bent end should face out and hook into the linkage bracket or cable arm .....
You also seem to be missing the lock washer for under the nut on the throttle cable bracket. Here's the order for those parts .....

Someone can double check me, but I'm pretty sure that's the correct order.
Sorry, not tearing a good set apart to verify.

Apparently there's some variances' in the springs used. There's no bent/hook end on either of these springs.
Yes, forgot the lock washer.
Yes, that pic I posted is BS38 parts. Their spring has a hook bent in one end. The BS34s don't, only having a long straight and short bent end. The short bent end goes out and hooks into the bracket.
Revised left carb, left side...
That's the way I'm showing 'em in my pics... short bent end facing out. Are you trying to say something else or are we on the same page?
We're on the same page. And your revised left outside pic is good too. The slotted washer is always under the cable arm, then the lock washer and nut on the outside. If you don't have that slotted washer inside the cable arm, it's tab won't align correctly with the adjuster screw.
Bul, don't forget that the seals go in with the open "cupped" side facing out.

Inside the carb is vacuum/low pressure. That sucks the edges of the cup tight against shaft and body.
With any cupped seal, the open cup always faces the higher pressure. In this case, standard atmospheric pressure is the higher one.
A little grease on the seals doesn't hurt anything either.... petroleum based grease.
I use high vacuum grease because that's what it's made for.
I dust new rubber with DS2 powder. Then grease.
