The 149's been running so good I haven't been here in a while...
Went to mow the lawn today (4th time this spring...) and didn't get very far when the engine died and I saw fuel pouring out the air-cleaner housing.
I assumed a stuck or dirty float so I removed the carb.
There are no identifying markings on the carb at all -- I vaguely recall the PO saying the carb was a replacement... It appears surprisingly clean, the throttle jet did require a metric socket so I'm guessing it's an off-shore copy...
My question is regarding the brass float. When I shake it, I can hear a little bit of fluid inside it -- just a little. I don't get any air bubbles when I hold it under water and the soldered seams look good.
So my question is -- should there be any liquid "ballast" inside the float or should it be (like every other car float I know) completely dry inside?
Are replacement floats available?
Remembering all our Vets this weekend...
