As to the cracking....almost certainly fatigue.
Anyone know if the Zed's carbies run the same floats as the 180B type. I'm sure I can get them in Canberra - I bought some for another lister around 3 months ago for Zed Hitachi's (not at Nissan, NLA in Aus, 3mths from Japan, $$ up front). What model have you got on yours and I'll make a call or two for you. On another note, I've soldered floats up before and never had any more trouble with them - are you feeling lucky. Do you have the heat shield fitted?regards Terry -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:membersozdat_owner@;datascribe.com.au]On Behalf Of thomas grant Sent: Thursday, 7 November 2002 2:10 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: su floats needed Thanks Eddie, Hmmm, I think your theory certainly explains the cracks in the brittle brass floats. In regards to getting new ones though, I've allready called Nissan and they reckon there are none in Australia.

This sort of inflates and deflates it like a balloon (well not visibly but you get the idea) which eventually causes stress fractures. I had exactly the same problem on my 710 SSS. I ordered new floats from Nissan which turned out to be plastic rather than brass so the problem should never happen again.
