Purchase a kit, and new brass float (assuming Napa can get new brass floats). I have fought those quadrajets many times until I took a carb to someone that knew what he was doing. He told me there was nothing wrong with my carb rebuild, except for a sunken float. He told me the biggest reason those are tossed, are the fiber floats which soak up fuel, and sink slowly, and if you replace with a brass float, that will be the last time you worry about the float. I know others will disagree, but I learned the hard way they are decent carbs, biggest problem is the person working or tinkering on them. Another tip.....do not change any adjustments other than the two screws on lower front....if I recall, turn the screws in until it stumbles, then back it out about 1/4 turn. Going by memory, and it has been many years since I worked on one, but I only owned one Holley, but would not be afraid to own another quadrajet (actually I own a car with an electronic quadrajet, and I am likely going to rebuild this year). I do agree I am glad for efi.

Although he himself has never actually owned or restored a tractor, he was always enthusiastic and always around helping with other peoples projects.
