a brass float made in India for a substantially lower price?

     Your Linkert carburetor was designed to operate properly with a float that

has a specific weight, size, and is set at a specific level. The brass float weighs 3 times

what the original Linkert did and is actually larger. That means that it must be set to a

different level and has a different moment of inertia. Both these things affect the

responsiveness and operation of your carburetor.

   Lets forget the operation and performance issues and focus on product life.

The brass is so thin that you can deform it just with improper handling. This also means

that it will corrode quickly due to the water absorbed by the ethanol in the current gasoline

mixtures. Most brass floats will fail due to pin hole corrosion with in 2 years. Hopefully it

will happen in your garage where it will only result in a messy gas leak and not in a fire,

 or strand you hundreds of miles from home!

THE INSTANT YOU PURCHASE THAT SECOND CHEAP BRASS FLOAT

YOU ARE WASTING MONEY, WHEN YOU COULD HAVE BOUGHT A 

"RUBBER DUCKY FLOAT" THAT WILL LAST A LIFETIME!
