I found my fourth plastic float full of gas yesterday (in just a few months). Ethanol gas sure is tough on the plastic/rubber bits and pieces of carburetors. Started finding that seats were so swollen, the bowl of the carb would 'run out of gas' due to the float checking the flow of fuel way too early. I did find a cheaper way of solving the swollen seat problem though. Probably not news to the crustiest of forum members, but here it is: https://www.ebay.com/itm/20X-Carburetor-Needle-Seat-Kit-fits-Briggs-Stratton-398188-281144-83400-83412/303153880786?ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2648
48 cents per carb instead of a needle and seat kit for 2 or 3 bucks. Works well on Tecumseh and Briggs.
Ah, the things a bored guy will spend time posting for his esteemed colleagues.
