Re: CARB FLOAT BOWL LEAKING

[Keith0alan@aol.com]

The air in the floats expand and contract with temperature. The brass  floats 
work harden and crack after doing this for a while. The plastic ones just  
flex a bit and do not work harden. I've done a few carbs and have found lots of 
 
bad brass ones and no bad plastic ones. The really good ones are the hinged  
floats, they are foam and don't ever sink. They don't do well if you set them 
on  fire but that's a different problem.
