Carburetor Float
« on: August 12, 2016, 01:18:20 PM »
Looking for a consensus on what type of float is the best for an autolite 2100. From what I've researched there are brass floats and nitrophyl. I've read good and bad things about both. The information I found claims the nitrophyl perform better but can become saturated with fuel over time. I have one of each and not sure what would be best to use.

Thanks,

Thanks guys I will use the brass one. I've been having issues with the fuel bowl level, hoping the brass float will be the ticket.
