Then I noticed that the float had fallen apart, as the solder melted! >:( :)

That's one advantage of using steam to clear residue from components, routinely used in chemy labs to clean the glass apparatus as it's pretty effective.

Forgot to add, that steam won't release solder.
Can also be used to steam out a fuel tank if you need to weld it.

Thanks for all the good information. So.........................started to strip them, got all the pins out finally but founds one carb has had a dodgy repair. Do I stick with it and use something like JB weld or source another carb body (guess might be difficult)
How far do I strip them. I've got them this far (Please pics)

I had a full set of 400 carbs with broken float posts, I used an m3 grub screw and made some posts on a lathe/mill

There are guides in tricks and tips on the forum of how to bench sync and set float heights, there are vids on Facebook and we are all here to help with advice. You can send the to Gerben for a full recondition / overhaul but it's not cheap. Have a go, you have nothing to loose.

Hi Julie,
I have have heard you refer to selling parts, where might I find this? Do you have a website?
