Re: OMC cork floats?

What is the number of the "little round Merc float?"

I’m not convinced brass floats are all that much more expensive, else Briggs, Tecumseh and the rest of the small engine world wouldn’t have used them. Not sure what they are using now.

I took put several floats in a pan of gas and the new OMC plastic one rode the highest. The cork floats seemed to vary quite a bit in buoyancy, but of course what matters is how they do after sitting in fuel.
