well m carb was leaking gas really bad and after i tore it dorn 4 or 5 times yesterday and the corner of the float is busted so its filling up with gas and it wont close and i was wondering what would be the best thing to seal it up with like a gas restiance super glue or if anyone has a float they would sell me really cheap

Your best bet is to get a new float. You can run into problems by repairing it.

well i would rather spend 5 bucks on glue than 31 dollars on a new one from yamaha

Dont fool around by trying to repair the float, it may work for a while, but it wont last.

It's surprising what punishment that little float goes through.

IMO it is one of the hardest working parts on a bike, just think about what forces it is subject to.

Not only the forces of gravity in every plane, but also fuel sloshing around exerting pressure from all sides.

And all of this happens to the 2 floats hanging way out on the end of a lever.
