The carburetor will have to be taken apart to install a new fuel float. After the top is off, the float sits in the bowl resting on a rod. Pick it straight up, remove the needle and install it on the new float. Put the carburetor back together with new gaskets.

The float on your lawnmower is full of petrol?

The float bowl is supposed to be full of fuel. However, if what you are saying is that the fuel doesn't stop flowing into the float bowl and causes the engine to flood, then the problem lies in the needle valve that is controlled by the float. When the float drops because the engine is "pulling" fuel, the valve will open to allow more fuel into the bowl. As the bowl fills up, the float will rise and close the valve to cut off the fuel supply. The other interpretation I can make of your question is that the float itself is full of fuel. If that's the case, the float is damaged and must be replaced.

Your 2001 Silverado's gas gauge goes to E and wobbles and the low fuel light comes on even when there's a half to a fuel tank of gas any ideas?

AnswerYour gas float has a crack in it gas is getting into the float and it weights down the float so the computer thinks your tank is low on fuel. think of your gas float like float in the toilet bowl....if the float in the toilet bowl has a crack in it. it will stay at the bottom of the tank..same thing with your gas float..itstays at the bottom of the gas tank. Chevy Dealer has the float for $155.AnswerYour gas float has a crack in it gas is getting into the float and it weights down the float so the computer thinks your tank is low on fuel. think of your gas float like float in the toilet bowl....if the float in the toilet bowl has a crack in it. it will stay at the bottom of the tank..same thing with your gas float..itstays at the bottom of the gas tank. Chevy Dealer has the float for $155.Also, had this problem with my '01 Silverado and read about it in other blogs. Recommendations were to add Techron Fuel System Cleaner for $11 to the gas tank. After a few days the fuel tank sensor started working again. Techron cleans the sulphur off the sensor, as advertised, allowing it to pickup an electrical signal and eliminating false or no readings and also shuts off the low fuel light. Worked for me even though I bought a new sensor to install in the tank if this didn't work but it did. Cheap easy fix so far!

1988 Ford Broco fuel float in tank floats in water but not in the tank do you need to replace the entire unit or the thing beside the spring thing?

The fuel float will float in water but not fuel because it has a small leak in the float. Water and fuel have difference densities, and the leak is likely small enough to let fuel in, but not water. For an 88 Bronco, the part you are looking for is COAZ-9202-B
