I have thirty or so carbs from various aged Chrysler and Force engines and not one of them has a fuel soaked float.

You also need to replace-don't even bother checking it--the fuel pump diaphragm and gasket. They harden with age and don't deliver fuel as well as they should. The diaphragms are only 3 bucks each and the gaskets are a buck and a half, so buy a couple and have at least one extra on hand. Fuel pump is under the electronics mounting plate and the top half is held on with six fillister head screws. Easy!
