Title: 83 Floats
Post by: firstone on July 06, 2009, 07:04:59 PM
Hello Carb Gurus.  What can you tell me about 83 floats?  I have a repaired float which appears to be coming apart.  Are they hollow or made of some sort of closed foam?  Assuming it can be re-repaired what would be the correct adhesive?

83 floats are foam.  Don't know how to glue them back together, though.

You need new ones.

The problem is that 83 floats are rarer than unobtanium.  Repair is really the only option with these.  An 82 float is quite different and can be easily found.
