When I rebuilt my carb in the 70's the float was cracked, soldered it and was fine for about 30 years. Truck sat several years and finally got her going this winter past. Float sank to the bottom of the bowl, agin. showed a lot of possible cracks this time so, soldered it up some more. Should I replace the float with a brass float again? Is there something better? This is a Carter carb, model BB, on a '56 Power Wagon.
