Float Post Repair

Microscopic Lazer Float Post Repair:

Sometimes a float post will break off. We have excessive experience in repairing float posts. In the early days we used epoxies. Then we used a marine epoxy, then we cross drilled, roll pinned and epoxied. But in the end after consulting epoxy engineers they all shared that all epoxies would break down in a maximum of two years in a petroleum environment as epoxy is petroleum based.

Then we found out about aluminum lazer welding. These pictures will speak for themselves. Basically we clean the mating surfaces and weld them back together. As long as you have the broken post we can fix it. Sometimes the post is broken at the float pivot pin hole and the little top half is gone. In this case we can build up the head of the post, grind it back to shape, and drill it to spec for a complete original repair.

Pricing ranges from 60-100$ per repair on average. Send us your carb and your broken part (dont forget to send the pivot pin, and float for spacing) to the address on the contact us page. And we will have it turned around and back for you in about two weeks. Email us if you have any questions. Additional billing to your card on file may be processed based on time spent on your job. Things that add time are; removal of prior evicences of repair, build up of areas like pivot pin hole, and then drilling, and ground areas.

We can also fix cracks in float bowls and other areas that need to be built up.
