Dellorto Floats

[Jim Rose]

I'm just putting my Targa back together. Decided to check the floats because I had a problem with them leaking whilst in Italy and they were replaced with new. Both new floats were full of fuel and the engine had only done 1000 miles (give or take).
There was something on facebook about a batch of defective floats and if you've had a new Dellorto carb in the last year or so I suggest you keep an eye on it. I've swapped my white floats for black ones.

Reason why my buddy kept breaking down on way to Shipston. We limped there with several bodges and then bought new ones from Robbo which are marked up with a green dot.

One point to add, the new floats had not had any UK fuel, ie less ethanol. The green dot ones were bought out by Dellorto to show they were the new improved version.
