My float is damaged and has a crack on the outside which has allowed gas inside. These floats are very rare. Does anyone have one? Or can JB weld or another substance put lightly put over the crack help? The float is brass. Or who could I send it to that can solder the crack?
Two ideas. First is Carbking out of Missouri. The Carburetor Shop: https://www.thecarburetorshop.com/
Second would be Marx Parts is a frequent contributor that sells and rebuilds fuel pumps among other items. I don't know if they have a source for float bowls or could repair yours but they might know someone if they don't. At worst it costs you a phone call and a few minutes.

@tiny @arthur-c-winters I would not recommend JB Weld for this repair. I know they claim to be a suitable repair for gas tanks but I found this to not be the case. Gary Wallace in St Louis Missouri has a good offering of 4 Cylinder Chevy stuff. He might be able to help. chev4cyl@charter.net

Another thought on the float is to use Gas Tank Sealer solution. (look up Bill Hirsch gas tank sealer). Don't dunk the float in it. Use a small artist's brush and brush several light coats over the leaking area. Gas Tank Sealer is designed for the fuel system. And of course, be sure the float is cleaned and prepped properly for good adherence with the sealer and get all the fluid out of the float first.
