bcoycqms Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 I have attached three pictures of the floats from Coventry climax generator showing of the damage caused by modern petrol. The floats are made up from laminated cork and covered in a varnish, what's happened is that the petrol has eaten its way through the varnish and now has started to delaminate the cork. Now the cork floats jam in the top of the float chamber and so does not stop the flow of petrol. The question is can I get a suitable replacement or does anybody know where I could get metal ones made? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have quite a lot of parts for older carbs, and plenty of contacts. I may be able to help. phil@actionwheels.tv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcoycqms Posted February 28, 2013 Author Share Posted February 28, 2013 Hi Phil Thank you for your kind offer I can't tell you what to make of the carburettor is at the moment and I won't be able to get to see it again until next weekend but I certainly will be in touch.
