Float is a float, does the same thing, irrespective of the material. If it was lead, that might be a different story.

The plastic floats call for a 12.5 mm at the tip(end) of the float. The brass and plastic floats are different as far as level. I just spent 2 hours looking and found some good writeups and info at REDLINE, they are a weber outlet.

I have that same carb also and also found where they aren't very streetable carbs, more performance orientated like the ida or idf. The older 45s seem to be the best for stockport.

Please stop giving bad info! People actually read these threads in the hopes of looking for a help. If you dont have anything useful to say please stay the hell out of my thread!

This is from Redlines website.

Early Style brass float 8 to 8.5mm (at radius)
Late style plastic float 12.5 to 13mm at extreme tip of float
All settings are gasket to float
