    Roger i also hope this Float problem is over My floats checked good at the 100 hour inspection weighted way to much at failure 135 hours , but that is not the only problem , one of the floats the pin that raises and lower the needle valve assembly came loose and moved up , the float bar got cock eyed the result is gas poured out of my engine when you are in the air and that happens it is a scary thing , almost everyone practices a power off landing but when you actually shut the engine off and turn off the gas the airport looks about the size of a postage stamp . when i landed and and my heart rate got near normal i opened the clowling up and turned the gas on gas poured out of one side . Total time on these floats 85 hours as i had replaced the first set at 50 hour inspection as they weighed near the maximum. 135 hours total time engine Floats Pair (Qty of 2) 861 188 $150.95 Ordered: 2 Shipped: 2 $301.90 Roger that is correct 4 floats cost 301.90 150.95 per set needed both sides. Roger heck i was born in Tucson Az. in 1950 at the Tucson Medical Center. have a great day my friend you are sure a asset to this forum

     Roger, I just got the new rebuild kit.  The new floats do not have a brass sleeve to go over the guide rod, just holes.  They are not big enough to fit the old sleeves if I could get them out so I installed them as is.
