Does anybody know if or where I can get a replacement float?

These floats absorb fuel over the years and sink so well worth replacing it . That's a horrible carb and on the 240 the air inlet housing on top the carb restricts airflow at certain rpm and upsets the running . Volvo had a modified one a long time ago . I would find a Pierburg carb and manifold . The Pierburg looks similar to a stromberg but has it's own problems !
