I can't find rebuild parts for this L2 Kingston carb. Maybe you Ford folks could point me to a Kinston specialist. I need the following--
Float--OD 2.950", ID 2.070", Height 3/4"
Bowl Gasket -OD 3.5"
Choke Plate -OD 1.310"
Throttle Plate -OD 1.375"
Staples for above -3/4" wide
Try www.thecarburetorshop.com/ All kinds of early stuff.
For the float you will probably be best off to buy a block of float material from Snyders and make one. It's not too hard to do, messy but not complicated to make. You may be able to buy a brass float but as far as I know there is no source for cork floats other than making one.
Choke and throttle plates will probably have to be made or you can find almost any size in other carbs, Bowl gasket is easy, pair of scissors or a sharp knife.
www.strombergof.com for ideas.
i bought a holley G at a swap meet for 20 bucks, it has a cork float in it that looks just like yours, i cut some new gaskets for it and put it together and its never given me any trouble. what i mean is your float looks fine, run it as is. the right closed cell cork is hard to find and its hard to get the floats to work properly.
as far as rebuild goes, you problably wont find gaskets, but with a good sharp knife and some calipers you can make really nice ones out of paper,
as for the needle and seat, you would have to contact somone about that, but i wouldnt be surprised if its the same as another more common kingston carb. if all else fails you can true it up on the lathe, or lap them together.
if your float dont float, check the diameter and see if you acn get a replacement brass one for an l-4 or similar and fit it into place.
