So it was a beautiful day today, pulled the bike out started it up and ran inside to get the helmets, came back out and there was a puddle of gasoline under the bike. Pulled the airbox and the gas was coming from carb 1. Took them out to discover float 1 had gas in it, you could hear liquild in it as I shook it. So I need a new float, I went to Mikesxs and one would cost me $20 all together, shipping was almost as much as the float. Money is tight right now so I wanted to check if anyone had an extra laying around that would work. I will pay shipping and if you want a couple extra dollars. THe thing has to be super cheap to ship. THanks!!

Darn! If you would have posted earlier, I could have sent one out! I don't know if I'll have time to get back to my storage unit today, and I leave at 0-dark thirty for a week.
If I can find a float here, I'll PM, and put it in a "one price" USPS 3 day box. I think it's about $12.00 that way. Send me back the old float, with a dollar or two, and we can call it even.
