That float is history. You could try and drill it out and use a piece of brass tubing either soldered to the metal arm or pressed into the float

I agree, might want to also use a brass tube for the float wire so it doesn't wear out the piece of wood.Originally posted by tkent02 View Postsigpic

That float IS NOT TOAST.. The float material isnt of any issue...except i think cork can come aprt and little chunks can be floating around
What I would do with that egged out float is this..
Take and shave a little material off the end of it to allow a small light weight copper or braqss washer to slip over the arm. Next, use one of those star center looking tabs that hold a trim piece to the seat and push that onto the metal arm to trap the washer and float back on to the arm.
OR you couls find some gas resistant tubing and resleeve the float to refit it to the arm...and use the washer and press on retainer thing to secure it.MY BIKES..1977 GS 750 B, 1978 GS 1000 C (X2)
