Carb floats??

Post by spritz46 »

Hi to all,

Just started stripping out the carbs for a good old clean...


2 float needles either not in seat or damaged.
1 float bar missing

Worst bit...


One float has completely melted on the top of one of the floats. Like the entire top is gone not just a hole. So obviously need a new one...

Not made by Honda anymore and not available from fowlers.

Cbr600 f very early models use the same float and same situ
Searching for floats for that model.

Any chance they can be mended? I get they displace to get the float level and so weight is critical. So is having one though! Can I use doing to give me a base to glass fibre onto or do I just have to keep looking or hope someone one here can help me out? Really wanted to try get her fired up soon and this could be a big set back.


Any help would be great people.


Cheers

Bloody auto correct...

That should read can I use sponge to give me something to glass fibre over not can I use 'doing'.
