I have a case 310B loader backhoe. The carb floats were taking on fuel. Fuel was running out of it. I tried to repair them but was unsucessful.
I am looking for some floats, or good ways to repair the existing ones. I believe the engine is a 148. Its a Marvel Schebler carburator.

I tried to repair the float on my VAO unsuccessfully and ultimately got a new one, (after disassembling and reassembling, removing and replacing the carburetor 3 times) from one of the fine folks on this Case page I'll send you the email address if you request it. And with that I have the confidence that a new one did work out the gate and will last, I got really tired of trying to repair it.

But along the way I found an interesting article about floats, construction and repair, which may help if you continue. Scroll down to "brass floats" the information was interesting if not informative. I did not use this company so I cannot comment on their services.

Good Luck

A couple of things if you are use the float repair method in Ted's link, 1) it is much easier to drill the equalizer hole and shake out any liquid than it is to try and force it out through what might be minute leak. 2) before using the hot water method to find a leak put the float in a freezer for an hour or so to maximize the density of the air in the float. 3) I don't agree that the float should be cold prior to soldering the equalizer hole because the air in the float is cold also will tend to expand and thin the patch. I like to repair the leak and when the solder is set continue on and solder the hole. You might see a small dimple in the equalizer hole repair as the air in the float contracts. Apply a bit more solder.
