you guys have been great! so i am waiting for parts, raptor and that cheap k%l  carb rebuild kit from amazon.
ronaires is 10 days out on the raptor petthing he sold something like 56 in the last 2 mos most probably going to savage guys!
is there a thread showing/ telling how to check viability of the float,sometimes they gain weight  without any slosh .weight in grams would be good.
i will weigh mine and if it turns out good you will have that info.

Hotprops, the ones that gain weight without sloshing are generally made of a brown composition material that can age and get porous and then absorb fuel. Brass or hollow plastic floats won't do this, they will slosh.
