1. The slow running jet binds against the metal part of the float. If I try to insert the jet first the shaft for the floats do not line up with the holes in the carb body. If I fit the float first then the jet not only does it bind on the float but the thread is not properly aligned.
2. have only finger tightened the jet onto the carb body but it does not tighten so I guess the thread is worn/oxidised/ how do I fix this?
Advice please .
PS I have tried the old float/shaft and jet but it still binds ??

Ignore me, I've just read your post again.

I know it’s a silly question but they are the only two holes that are threaded and would make sense why both the float brass bit and the pivot pin don’t fit with the jet screwed into this hole

Can you show us some photos?
Thank goodness I did not post a photo it would have been too embarrassing!
I looked at some U Tube video and thought my Carb is nothing like that!
Then I realised as someone has mentioned here I had only started to screw the jet in the hole where the needle seat clamp fits.
All threads good now fits a treat......duhhhhh
