I did build a balsa float but evidently, the block I cut it out of was very dense and it turned out quite a bit heavier than the cork original. I went with the merc float and it worked pretty well. I have touched the needle up with 800 grit and then a 3m polishing pad. I then cleaned the seat area up as well as I could. It still leaked a bit but good enough for now. I am hoping that the needle/seat will set as I run it. It idles VERY well. I wasn’t able to test the high-speed setting out yet due to not having the prop on it to put it under load. I found out that the two exhaust holes in the tube are not centered in the back…and it spits out a decent amount of water from them onto the floor when I run it in a 5 gal bucket…so the water pump is strong.
