When I get it running, I might bring it your way. freeway drive let it air out afraid to go more than 2 blocks, in case itneeds to be towed back. new float should arrive in a week

Did it have fluid in it? Does the dammm thing float? On top of water or down in it? Bubbles? Uhh,, maybe new float instead of losing a bike? You're too close to winning to consider giving up.

wish I had this on video. used a bic lighter to find the hole in the float.
Effective, but not recommended. had a tiny flame thrower then a tiny but scary fire
got a good laugh out of it.

I submerged the float and bubbles so slight they clung to the metal float. so I scraped them away trying not to make any bubbles in doing so. sure enough more bubbles.

anyway, if anyone is checking for leaks in the float, be patient, bubbles never rose to the surface they just slowly appeared and stuck to the float.
Took it out of the water after 20 -30 minutes and yes water was in the float.
used the bic lighter again and saw the water drip.
Can't see the holes even with 10x magnifier.

got e-mail ... my new float is on back-ordered (no currant ETA)
anyone know of a good video on How to solder a float

Can't compare to anything cause it didn't run when I got it. it idles, no lag throughout throttle range, doesn't backfire. I'll have to let it soak and see if still runs in a week. thanks for all the advise everyone!
