With respect to 2 ManyTrucks, I must disagree on floats.
Any brass float should be always be tested.
BUT A 70 YEAR-OLD BRASS FLOAT MADE IN THE USA IS SUPERIOR TO THE ONES CURRENTLY PRODUCED ELSEWHERE, REGARDLESS OF PRICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can buy the same float for a lot less than the $20. mentioned above; but would not consider giving these things away if I were paid to do so!
What is currently being used for solder on these new floats will deteriorate if EVER it is touched by ethanol within a few months. If the float never sees ethanol, it still will only last a year or so.
There are so many Rochester B's being replaced by Carters, it is very easy to acquire a supply of used floats for the Rochester B.
