Good news:
My only flathead, my favourite one did the job. I used a file to grind a bit off the sides, but in the end, it fit.
I got a cramp in my hand trying to remove those pilots though... As in i turn so hard that something pulled. Mind you, it never slipped! It was just very tight, that when it eventually budged, there was a loud tick as if i loosened something that was overtightened and has not been removed since 1987.
From that picture you can also see how much i had to pull out the idle mixture screw on the right to get it idling properly.
I will go put it back together, thanks for your continued support and suggestions thus far, been a great help.
Will update on results.
