Hello, just in the middle of rebuilding my carbs, I have ordered a master rebuild kit for my twin Dellorto 40mm DRLA carbs but the floats are not sold anymore and no longer available. Does anybody know where to get some new ones?? Perhaps some old stock ones around at some shop? Anybody know of any for sale right now? Any help would be great and thanks!!
PS: I checked with CB Performance and a couple of popular internet sites and got the NLA answer from them. Jamie |

Did you try Jake? He is a fan of Dellortos, at least he used to be.
I don't know the carb very well, but can you use a weber float? |

You can reuse your old floats. You don't need new ones, unless, of course, yours have holes in them which is really rare. I might be able to dig some up if you need them.

Thanks guys! I tried Jake and he referred me to another shop and am waiting to hear back. I guess I will see what the floats look like when I rebuild the carbs soon..I just wanted to have the parts ready before I start anything. Thank you too Type2man, maybe I will need to take you up on that offer if things look bad, thanks again
