Recipe suggestions for a 17087175?
Cliff Ruggles:
Our kits come with a new closed cell float which will not sink in this new fuel. You also get a complete accl pump assembly with our seal and springs on it, lifetime warranty. We include the secondary cam/spring, new retainer for the power piston, high flow Viton N/S assembly, filter/spring, gaskets and small parts.
I would NEVER re-use a float for any reason, the latest version are designed to be ethanol compatible, haven't had a single failure with one to date.
If you are going over the counter for kits, unlikely anything in them is specifically designed to hold up in ethanol, and much of it is "old stock", as the companies supplying those kits are still using up materials they have had on the shelf for decades....FWIW.....Cliff

Thanks for the info. I will be going that route soon for sake of mind. It was an otc kit; and i shouldnt have reused the float. Im poking thru your book at the moment and that stuck out to me....so i hopped online and sure enough you were stating it again ;D
Again, thank you.
Im fairly certain the kit i had used that float from wasnt rated for ethanol mixed fuels. The accelerator pump rubber was....shrunken? for lack of a better term. I had used a different kit and specified the last time, but that didnt include a float :'(
Live and learn.
Im having a hard time finding it in your website (probably just me), but besides everything you stated in your kit, would i be able to get the linkage for the accelerator pump (lever)? I have the later style non-clip type and it has about given its last bend.
Cliff Ruggles:
Good results require good parts. Most of our customers have already purchased cheap over the counter kits that are incomplete and contain poor quality components.
We sell accl pump links that take a clip instead of having to drive out the roll pin or bend the end over.
Kits MUST be ordered by calling the shop, too many questions required and options, etc. You will find our kits the most complete in this industry, and the only ones with a complete accl pump assembly with a lifetime warranty.
We're here 8am-4pm, M-F EST.....tks....Cliff
