    Carb floats = that don't?

    Hello again, went thru the tech tips/maint and still need assistance.. Have a 79 xs 11 sf special that the floats 2, have small pin holes in them. Real tiny like...I read somewhere that you can solder them. Does this mean I need to readjust the float hight because of increased float weight??
    Or I could just do the easy way and ask if anyone knows where I can get new floats ( need 2 ) thanks ahead Jamie

      Hey Jax,

      If the holes are pinholes, then you should only need a little drop of solder to seal them, and shouldn't affect the boyance, but you could always just put a similar spot of solder on the other 2 to keep the weight more balanced, if you're that worried about it.
