    OEM  kits from  the dealer      is preferred  !     some dealer kits DO NOT HAVEA FLOAT so check what you buy !!!

    some  China  kits   have orange goo gasket known to melt away and  needle seats have a wrong thread.

    unless something is broken or missing a good cleaning with carb cleaner and air blasting usually does it. adjust  the float level with the carb body,  don’t spray carb cleaner on the float. use safety glasses

    the float if not to bad can be sanded a bit  and  “painted” over with crazy glue and dried.  … don’t smell the fumes and protect eyes and lungs.

    when done do a blow test … air goes in right side up  and air DOES NOT go in  upside down. This test checks the  float and needle seating properly

    to service your oldy this is the best book  for 20$ … covers all you need   just download and print locally double sided  and spring bound with plastic cover sheets . Save the file on your laptop or PC
