Last year,at a local show,I carried my F-14 with high expectation of having a good time.Well I got there and settled in,and unloaded.A buddy of mine that I met on the net came over to see my baby doll and he wanted to hear it run,so,I pulled the crank a couple of times and she started up and ran about 30 seconds or so and cut off!looked and gas was all over the side of the engine,float had hung,or so i though.It had cracked,I guess from the trip!I took it off and tried to find someone to fix it but had no luck!Spent the rest of the day trying to figure out how I was going to load it up when I was a plastic spoon and a cigarette lighter.I got as much gas as icould out of the float and melted the spoon with the lighter and let it drip onto the crack in the float!Worked like a charm and lasted all of 3 months before I had to replace the float!DOwnside was I couldnt find a new flaot,so I had to but a carb just to get a used one!
