45 dcoe help!

Thanks man. I went ahead and ordered the rebuild kit and a new set of soft mounts.

Question..when I get into the carb, if it has the old brass floats, should I replace them with the plastic floats? I hear they are better.

It is a 45DCOE 152 if that makes a difference.

Mine had plastic floats already, think the brass ones are in the ida's but it might also depend on how new it is.... its only 5 or so screws to pull the floats out.... ... and the only benefit i believe for plastic is for blow thru applications... Rob would have to confirm..

the brass floats lead me to believe its an older carb as all the new sidedrafts come with the solid phenolic floats. the brass floats work fine. the solid floats are only needed for boosted applications

Any updates on the rebuild? did you get the kit and were your floats plastic already?
