Re: float trouble

had the same problem,with my phbh 30,with the white type floats,apparently the ethanol in the petrol knacks the glue,and they shouldnt even be supplied in uk carbs,i got a black float from wasp performance at a good price,these are more resistant to the ethanol now used in petrol.

Re: dellorto phbh 30 which float's

just had a look at them and they have 6.5 grammes stamped on them,which i can get fron euro carb,but would prefer the black ones which are 8.5 grammes and 1/3rd of the price from wasp performance,could this alter the mixture as the petrol level in the float bowl would be diffrent,cheers
