M151A2 Float
I need a new float for my 1976 M151A2 and have not had any luck finding one via google. Can someone please help me or steer me in the right direction?
Thanks,
Howard

Re: M151A2 Float
Are you sure you need a new float or just a float valve(needle valve)? the floats rarely go bad unless it gets a hole in it. I think the large carb kit comes with the float valve.

Re: M151A2 Float
Thanks for the replies. We were installing the full kit and at the point of adjusting the float level when the composite material split. At present waiting for some bonding glue to cure but that is inly a temporary solution.
Fil, thanks for the offer. I will PM you.

They do? Any kind of link or part number? I plan to start rebuilding them and would like to find a supplier for carb kits using fresh materials.GerryM wrote:check out norfar.com for zenith carb kits and parts'

I have never heard anything about them still making carburetor and the last contract was overseas so they have nor supplied the government since around the mid eighties. I would love some more info on that.

Re: M151A2 Float
I bought a kit # k2167 It has most of the parts for a rebuild also the floats are sold separate about $13
The kit are about $34 plus shipping most of what we need is in the kit.
