Well I have searched alot of places looking for WH27 floats. I don't think they exists anymore and I need all 3. Does anyone know where I might find some?

Any info would be greatly appreicated.

Thanks

Try, Jay Smith Race Engines, he may have some. They are rare and I havent found any aftermarket source. I want to run a set of WH22's but I'm running WMH 31's and WMV's because of this same problem.

Here's a link to Jay's website.. Just call him.

Just a side note, I did read where someone said that if they weren't damaged you can dry them out and reseal them. I don't remember was was used to reseal them though. Try a PM to J_Martin, I think he's running them on his XR motor.

Best you can do is buy a set of used carbs off'n eBay. The floats are the same in all of them, and if they are the later ones they will be the hard plastic floats that virtually never fail. The early ones had foam floats that alcohol sinks in about 20 minutes.

One aftermarket producer has listed a part number, but I don't think they ever made any.

So the floats out of WHxx carbs off a 135 would work fine.

hope it helps

Thanks..Ya I have got the cork or foam ones now. I rebuilt them last year but didn't change out the floats cuz I couldn't find them...bad choice. She now spits and sputters a lot harder to start when cold..you name it. I am trying to get it running good for this season aand it's one thing after another. I will try ebay.

Thanks
