Linkert floats???

[jwl]

I need a couple linkert floats and was wondering what is the best kind for the modern gas. I have been using Durables with no problems. Is there something newer or better? I see Starklite has some that they are making up. They are a lot cheaper than Rubber Duckies. Anyone have any experience with them? Thanks!! John

John,
The Starklite lasted about three months in my 58 with Washingtons gas. It swelled up
and stuck, flooded and ruined my NOS generator and timer wires. Starklite is a copy of
the brass float cast in Nitrophyl, it is much bigger then Cotton's float to begin with.....Rod

Rod, Thanks, that's the kind of info I am looking for. John

John!

Liberty's DURABLEs are still the newest, as the material changed in June of '08.

They are still machined from stock. Casting carries an enormous royalty, thus others use obsolete formulas.

The Pacific Northwest suffered the most digestive fuel in the Nation last summer, bloating not only competitor's floats, but my own older productions.

Liberty will replace any DURABLE that swells with one of the latest material, free of charge.
I only ask that the bloated float be returned for my studies.
(I shall not replace any floats but my own!)

The next summer blend shall be upon us this Memorial Day.
It may be some time after that before we know where the fuel is most digestive,.. this year.

I won't run anything but Cottens' floats.

I don't run anything but brass floats; impervious to any concoction & don't let you down on the road, which is quite long for some who really ride. Heavy? Yes. But easily compensated for, and always gets me home.
