Amici:

The last two years there has been a reaction between current racing gas and 
the copper float at the soldered joint.  This is especially true on 'new' 
copper floats (i.e., from MOSS or the ROADSTER FACTORY).  We have gone thru 
dozens of them.  Older copper floats seem to stand up better, but they too 
fail eventually.  We have been told it is a new racing gas additive that is 
non-compatible with the soldered joint.  We have plans to resolder some old 
floats to see if we can do it better, but have not done so yet.  Until we 
find a fix, we are going through floats like toilet paper.
