    So odd.  My engine is 2010 era, still has the original floats.  Just did the 400 hour inspection, and they are well within spec weight wise.  I guess I should keep mine forever!!!

    Or perhaps . . . get another scale.

    Older floats faired much better and many are still in use today. A different Mfg. Many people still have their old floats and have never absorbed fuel. That said they weren't perfect and a few over the decades flaked or sank, but darn few. I see flaots all the time that are 20 years old or more and have never had an issue.
