All 6 of the floats in my mid 80's V-150 have swelled and were contacting the fuel bowl making them unable to come to the top and stop fuel flow. As these are unavailable anymore and I can not find any, I have shaved the floats with a file so they fit and free float again. The motor runs awesome but I have no confidence in my McGyver fix. Any help on where to find good plastic floats without buying a complete used carb set, or is there a way I can coat my existing floats in something (like fiberglass resin) so I don't have to worry about them anymore?
Thanks

Re: V150 Carb Floats

Those are the ones. Thank you very much. I have been looking for those for over a year and could never find that number (I didn't even know a replacement existed). I have 6 on order and can't wait until they get here.
