Congrats! Good feeling, ain't it? Just got my F14 running again after a year of fooling with it off and on. It had been getting progressively harder and harder to start, finally getting to the point where it'd start only if you pulled it, and then run for less than a minute before flooding out. Had a pinhole in the float, tried to repair it but couldn't manage to solder it, and wound up screwing it up completely. A couple of weeks ago, I ran into a Summercator I speak to most every year (Old IH employee, drives a really cherry '61 Scout) and mentioned my troubles finding a float.

I pulled a float with it in a parade one year, haven't been invited back...
