Re: Leaking Carburettor Floats

["Jeff Webster" <carfindr@tiac.net>]

Gang,
I replaced all the gaskets in my leaking H6 carbs today and during the
rebuild happened to notice that the float had a hairline crack and had taken
on petrol. It prompted me to check the other carb, that too had fuel in the
float. I just looked up the cost of new floats - $33 !!!! EACH
It's been a long time, and I can't remember (a) how you get the petrol out
of the brass float - do you boil it? and (b) the best way to solder the
crack.
Any thoughts?

Regards,

Jeff
