Carburetor float
Hope all is well with everyone-
Need a little help here- Got around to adjusting the float on my 82 Sporty and while making a final tang on the float adjustment, cracked the dang float .I mean it's only been floating in gas for forty years. Nothing lasts anymore. Having a hard time finding another float. The part number of the float is 27887-78 ( it's a Keihin butterfly B83F ) Also, who makes the best rebuild kits for the Keihin? I should have another on hand.
Thanks in advance,
Mike

Yes they are far a few between. Here is a link with insight to the problem: http://xlforum.net/forums/showthread.php?t=1655009
You may be able to dry it out good and put some fuel resistant epoxy on it to seal the crack.
Or get a CV Carb replacement.
