Expert luck. It'southward tougher than it looks. less is more than equally far as heat. a solder pencil rather than a gun, if you go the bladder likewise warm when you solder, one time you seal the hole, the air inside will cool (shrink) and plummet the float. Use just a lilliputian flake also much heat and the hat will pop off the bladder. Utilize too much solder and the correct setting height volition alter.
Carefully inspect all around the edge of the float near the seam, there will often be a series of stress lines/cracks, no mode you tin fix those. Do the submerge in hot water for a few seconds examination after soldering, bubbles = fail. Yes I take tried all this stuff, so far with no successes that I can recall.

Just had to exercise this on for a CL100 carb. I used a soldering hot air re-work station gun (read: heat gun with adjustable pocket-sized nozzles) to estrus up the float and vaporize the gas, forcing it out of the pin holes in the float. The gun on my soldering station has an adaptable temp and air speed, and so I adjusted it above the vaporizing temp and below the spontaneous combustion temp and heated that sucker until there was no more than gas left.

A quick job with the fine tip soldering iron afterwards, as anybody else has mentioned.
