    Glad you got it running! Welcome to the types of frustrations we all occasionally have here! My experience with the hot fuel proof dope is that “clear” works best, and all of the original coating has to be removed first, then the float cleaned well with carb cleaner and allowed to thoroughly dry before coating. Getting it dry may take awhile because the float likely became saturated with the oil/gas mixture, and carb cleaner soaks in too. If a new float is available, I use it.
