Is there a substitute float for the cork ones used back in the 50's?

[ba_50]

My old Johnson 3hp brown/beige motor has run great for the last several years using ethenol but has been quitting on me lately. Could be dirt but I wonder what affect the fule has on the old cork floats. Can it be re-coated or is there a plastic sub that will work? Thanks.

The old cork float has been changed to a fuel-proof one made of Nitrophyl. It comes with an OEM carburetor kit, or if you order just the float you should get the new one.

The original cork float was part number 375919. Replaced by 396514. Available here at marineengine
