Default Float

The reason wny I may need to use the CV carb on the Sturgis, is that the original carb is missing the float and pin...........cannot find a float for a Keihin butterfly carb anywhere....obsolete I guess.

Anyone know a a source for Keihin butterfly carb parts??..Nothing on ebay, or on a google search.

Thanks.
