The BRP carb kits I use contain a new plastic foam float so I always install it. If the old cork one still looks good, I’ll save it for an emergency but usually they look pretty beaten and weathered.
Since OMC/BRP are only in business to make $$$ and plastic or cork floats being much cheaper to produce than a two piece brass float, I think it’s obvious why they went that route.
I did try to make a brass float for a TN once but haven’t had a chance to try it out yet. Maybe I should try again as my soldering skills have improved a bit since this attempt was made. ☺
