     Typically mc fuel pumps delivers 3psi.  Float valves are generally overcome at approx 4.5 / 5psi.  1ft head of water gives 0.433psi do the maths.
     One thing many don't think of is that in use float valves open very tiny amounts so the smallest of debris is likely to stay in the valve and never
     be flushed through unless the carb is drained or stripped and cleaned properly.
     Anyone wanting to check simply put a airline with a pressure reg on a upside down carb on the carb inlet and see at what point the valve leaks
     air when using leak detector spray.

  I've had them for years sizes  from 6" to 18" and only ever broken one and that was with total abuse using a 4ft length of 2" pipe on A 15" one I
  had cut an extra tooth on the movable jaw enabling it to open wider than they are designed to do. Carrying a 10" and !5 " on your belt was a very
  common practice in pits to save carrying a heavy bag of spanners for miles. I must still have 7 or 8 of them in varying sizes.

   Don't give up and don't take a backward step Phil. I was given 1 to possibly 4 years, now on 12 years 4 months and I do keep count. Nothing is
   set in stone. Stay strong it's not the easiest of rides.
