carb float repair

My clumsiness strikes again! While putting my carbs back together I dropped one of my carb floats. In the process of trying to recover my lost float I stepped back and stepped directly on the float itself. So my question is, are there any glues that would hold my float together and not fail because they are constantly bathing in gas? The guy at my local checkers store also told me that if I tried to glue my float back together it would throw off the balance of the float itself and the carb would not operate properly. Is there any truth to that in my situation? Will I just have to buckle down and find a used or new float?

Thanks! I sent you a PM.

COOL! I got a PM!!!!
Better yet, I sent you an email.

That's what is so cool about this site. Memebers are always there to help on another.
Kudos Randy.

That's damn nice of you Randy!

I agree, I started this thread hoping to get some friendly advice, but to get a float for free just blows my mind!! I hope I can help others out like that in the future. This forum ROCKS!:woohoo: thanks again randy.
