Retired Wrencher 5,441 #1 Posted February 19, 2012 :USA: What is a good test for floats. even if there is no rust or green oxidation. I have an original carb just wondering if I need to change the float. any info would be help full. Gary B................. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Martin 2,131 #2 Posted February 19, 2012 see if it will float in gasoline. you could hold it under and see if any air escapes from the float. if theres constant resistance and it wants to stay up on the surface of the gasoline then it should be ok. after its been in the gas for 5 min pull it out and shake it and see if any gas got inside. it will be noticably heavier if theres any gas inside as well. and if it leaks it will sink down below the surface as it takes on gas and gets heavier. no gas inside or no bubbles when holding it under = good float gas inside or bubbles = bad float.

Retired Wrencher 5,441 #5 Posted February 20, 2012 Martin Very Nice so far it looks great. I see you and I think alike with the natural color bolts. I think it stands out. it adds a little separation from the red. I try to use different color on small parts like the battery plate and the screen on the flywheel. and other stuff. just a little difference makes it special I think. T/Care Gary B.............
