Leaking Carbs - Again
My Bing manual shows a float with their part number on it. Is the carb a 1/26/68...should be a Type 122 carb? I don't see that there are multiple floats for it. Bing can help you out. Vech at Bench Mark Works can also probably help out. He has them listed on his website:
13 11 0 039 186--$40.50--11 gram float Bing carburetor R24 R26 R27 singles (35-073)
Vech has mentioned a plastic float being developed for the twins. Give him a call...possibly there's a replacement float for the R27 that won't have these kinds of problems.

Fast. Neat. Average. Friendly. Good. Good.

Leaking Carbs - Again
Yes the float is brass and I suspect that it is beyond repair. I will check with the Bing people to see if they can advise me what float size to order.

However about 5 minutes after it has started gasoline starts pouring out of the top of the carb through the gasket and the tippler.
When I take the carb apart the float is full of gasoline. There are no spacers, O rings, washers etc on the needle valves, washers.
The needle valve is rounded on the top.
Is there a fix for this other than a new float and needle valve?
If the answer is no, is there a way to tell what size float I would have. Looking at the parts catalogue, there appears to be 2 sizes.
