You can get the float valve assembly for your Kawasaki KE 100 on Ebay.
A needle can be made to float on very still water.
Yes, you can float a needle I have done it before. It doesn't have to do with density though it has to do with surface tension.
A needle sink in water.
the way it float is surface tension!!
Float height settings for the Kawasaki bayou are 17 millimeters from the edge of the float bowl to the very top of the float. Raising the float lowers the fuel level, this will also prevent fuel from coming out of the overflow tube.
Yes and no. Rubber bands can float and sink in water. They will float on the water for awhile and then will sink. But not all the time the rubber bands will float on the water for awhile. Sometimes it will immediately sink.
FLOAT
Your float is syuck or the needle is not seating, a common problem with the bayou, eBay sells a aftermarket carb with stock specifications, cause you can keep rebuilding it but it still won't seat.
The problem is most likely in the float bowl. The float could be bad. The likely cause is the needle valve that is control by the float is stuck, or dirt has gotten between the needle and needle seat. This is an easy fix. Carefully remove the float bowl. The float will be held in place by a pin. Remove the pin, and float. Check that there is no fuel in the float, and that it floats in gas, if not replace. The needle valve will come out with the float, as they are connected by a wire link. Make sure needle vale is clean, and able to move freely inside it's housing. Check the bottom of the housing at the needle seat to make sure it is clean of dirt. Reassemble, and you should be ready to go.
they float because they do not weigh to much and are hollow
I would suspect a bad needle valve and seat in the carburetor. The float level can also be set too high. I would replace the needle valve and seat and check float level.I would suspect a bad needle valve and seat in the carburetor. The float level can also be set too high.
