      I have a 49 Johnson qd-10 that was running well after I did a restore on it. However the float is the original cork and varnish and this new crap fuel has eaten the varnish. The cork has separated in a few spots but i believe it is salvageable. Can I get a new float made of modern material for this carb or would I be better off sealing this one with something and if so what should I use? I am also able to make a new float if it is required but if that is the case what material is best suited to the ethanol fuels out there today?

        I don’t know anything about making floats, but if you want to seal the original one, use something like SIG supercoat – fuel proof butyrate dope.

            but crazy glue seems to work also … 2-3 coats of crazy glue to seal it up…..

              fuel proof clear model airplane dope seems to work pretty good, have had good luck with that
              on several motors

              how is it motors multiply when the garage lights get
              turned off?
