Can foam floats be replaced with plastic floats? Kawasaki carb.
Original Message   Nov 9, 2009 9:32 pm
Will this work? Can I replace a broken foam float in this kawasaki 4-cycle with a plastic float.
The motor is model FG300D Code:FG300DHS00 Number: FG300D1351
I have not been able to find a replacement foam float for this mikuni carb. Shown below is the broken foam float (it was my fault, I got careless)
and a replacement float that appears to be made of plastic.

If you plan to glue the float back together, I recommend using JB Weld. That stuff is miraculous. It doesn't seem to be bothered by gasoline and oil. I've used it on a lot of different applications and the stuff hangs right in there. There are two types of JB Weld. Regular and JB Quick. Not sure if effectiveness is compromised using the Quick. I use both and haven't had a problem with either. You might want to do a test piece and allow it to set up then put it in some fuel to see how it reacts. Personally, I think it will be fine.
