Re: Best cork carb float coating

[nj-boatbuilder57]

Here’s my take…and while trying not to sound like a smartass, I assure you…..the solution is simple: "preventive maintenance". Every 2 or 3 years, I change the float & float valve, clean the nozzle & needles, etc.

Expecting the float, or anything else, to just "work forever" is kinda unrealistic, no matter what we paint / coat / bake it in. Seems to me we have 3 choices: 1.) replace it when it fails [in 5 – 10 years], 2.) replace it proactively every couple of seasons, or 3.) come up with these "ingenious solutions to non-existing problems".

I’m in the "keep it simple" camp.
