Description
When your old International starts running rough, flooding, or just won’t stay running properly, a worn or sunk carburetor float is often the culprit. This little brass component controls fuel flow into your carburetor bowl—when it’s not working right, you’ll know it. This replacement float gets your updraft carburetor back to doing what it should: delivering steady, reliable fuel flow for smooth engine operation.
What You’re Getting
- Brass construction that won’t corrode or deteriorate like plastic alternatives
- Proper buoyancy to maintain correct fuel levels in the carburetor bowl
- Direct replacement for both 1-1/4 inch and 1-3/8 inch updraft International carburetors
- Precision fit that works with your existing needle valve and seat
Built for Real Farm Work
This float is designed for the classic International Harvester tractors that built farming as we know it—from the reliable Super H and M series workhorses to the bigger W6 and W9 models. These machines were built to pull plows, run balers, and power everything from corn shellers to hay elevators. Whether you’re restoring a family heirloom or keeping a work tractor running, this float fits the updraft carburetors on dozens of International models from the 1940s through 1960s.
Made to Last
Brass construction means this float won’t absorb fuel or lose buoyancy over time like some modern materials can. It’s built to the same specifications as the original equipment, so you know it’ll handle years of steady use. The sealed construction prevents fuel from getting inside, which is what causes floats to sink and flood your engine.
Installation Notes
Installation is straightforward—just remove the carburetor bowl, lift out the old float, and drop in the new one. Make sure the float arm moves freely and doesn’t bind against the bowl walls. While you’ve got things apart, it’s a good time to check your needle valve and seat for wear and clean out any debris in the bowl.
