the oem carb rebuild kit for my 1966 9.5 johnson came with a cork float as was the old one when I dis-assembled and found that cork float deterioating..

The oem rebuild kit float looks like it is coated/sealed with something.....Do I need to go above and beyond and seal the float with something that the new [alcohol added] gas won't break down ?
 
Re: cork float and gas?

If the new float is yellowish in color then it is supposed to be fuel proof and no further steps should be needed. If it is redish brown in color then it is not fuel proof but you could use products such as super glue, gas tank sealer or model airplane dope to give it a fuel proof coating.
