I have been having all sorts of issues with the weber carb on my car ( DGAV 32/36 ) .... for 4 years , well the other day ( long story short ) I discovered the carb float was not , it was a sink , or at the very best neutrally buoyant ..... as in it had turned into a sponge and soaked up heaps of fuel. I noticed the difference in weight when I was checking that the float was the same as my spare. Put in the spare float and its a different car. Thing is that every time I put a LARGER jet anywhere it ran better ( still real bad but better ). The crook float looked perfect , and is made of the same stuff as the DCNF carb float ( different shape )

sunk floats is a very common issue with almost all materials used to make them. At least the plastic ones you can see the fuel inside them

Someone Ebay was selling brass floats to suit for 19 us bucks (+ 19 bucks usps ) , cost 80 NZbucks for a plastic one here .......... Brass one on the way , Tell ya what tho Higgy , ...........hindsight seems so obvious now............#uckin' thing

Do yourself a favor Hamish if you have a gram scale around. Weight the new float and write it down in your manual.
Make checking it in the future much easier

I have a reloading scale that measures grains , which would have done if I hadn't lent it out to Joe . Why is it that as soon as you lend something out you need it , he has my digital calipers too the bastard , so Ill probly be needin them soon
