Could I have any luck soldering all those cracks up? 


Eric,

 If you're going to repair, not replace I'd smear some fuel resistant goop 
(silicone or ...) lightly, but thoroughly, over the very clean floats.  Any 
structural soldering should be done first. The idea of providing a hole before 
soldering makes sense, the same technique is used when welding closed tube.  
Consider replacing the floats ASAP.  Charlie
