Re: TN26 resurrection

That float may or may not work with a couple of airplane dope coatings. I prefer to use a Mercury float that is made of foam and it is just the right size. Others have used this foam float as a replacement with good results. I have replaced the carburetor float in my 1953 TN28 and my 1937 Johnson 1.7hp model 110 with the mercury float listed below and no problems. There is a post that describes the slight modification to the float to make it work.
