    if it fits  horizontally  parallel with the carb body  right side up or upside down it would probably be ok   no ?

    in any event if OEM floats are not available …. Chineese ones are probably the only option   or   fixing up the old one .

    not a big problem to solve.

    or….. 3 kits for 34$ …incl floats !!!

    Actually it is kind of a big deal. I’ve tried over 15 and I don’t want to keep buying and hoping that one will fit, so no short answer is there aren’t Chinese ones readily available that work.  I’ll try and get ahold of Arthur,
