Found part of my latetest problem

When I took this bike apart I found 2 floats that has gas in them. I replaced them with used floats. Ran 100 miles then my left cylinder went way rich. Turns out another one has absorbed some fluid so I used my last spare float. Hopefully they will all stay dry now.

Submerge your bad floats in HOT water, and you will see the leaks from the air bubbles. Once you find the leaks, heat up the float with a hair dryer and set the leak point down on your work bench. Keep doing this until the float is empty. Then, use a soldering iron and some acid-core solder to seal them up. I've repaired many floats this way.

My guess if you cool the floats in the freezer first, they will bubble harder.
