Fuel Float

I pulled out my sending unit the other day as it did not work and the float has a split in it and is full of fuel. I cannot find one here locally(Podunk) and was hoping maybe someone had one sitting around maybe they would part with. It is a brass tube one. Let me know what ya got and what you'll take for it.


Thanks

Brass Fuel Sender Float: Fuel System &amp Sending Unit Float

I used a float out of a carb on one of mine and it worked find. I just used some mechanics wire and tied it to the arm. It doesn't take much.

Thanks Franklin2, I don't believe any wire will be needed. That looks exactly like the one I have.
