where can I buy a float valve without entire rebuild kit?
I have a'48 Merc and need a float valve. Bought a rebuild kit from a well-thought-of source and the needle has a rubber tip that won't drop down out of its seat. Where can I buy a valve assembly without buying the entire gasket, etc kit? It's a 2 barrel 94 with 59 cast into the body. All tags and other ID are long gone.

Try Uncle Max, Max Musgrove(

You have a Ford carb, Max usually deals in Strombergs. If he does not have the float
valve, I have some NOS . Brass seat, stainless needle. Charlie ny [email protected] |

I don't think uncle Max would lie either. Both an asset to Ford Barn.

Re: where can I buy a float valve without entire rebuild kit?
Isn't it pretty common for the rubber (viton ?) To be a little stubborn to drop out of the seat? I think usually the fuel pump will push it out of the way.

Re: where can I buy a float valve without entire rebuild kit?
Agree. It is the fuel pressure that opens the valve.
Here is an interesting valve I have seen. https://www.daytonaparts.com/daytona...oat-valve.html Last edited by J Franklin; 05-13-2018 at 11:18 PM. |

Re: where can I buy a float valve without entire rebuild kit?
Thanks for the welcome to the forum.
I installed the carb today with the "rubber" needle. Don't know if fuel pump preessure pushed it open but it runs. Thanks for the variety of advice I see on this site. |
