My MEP-016A has a brass float. all the Carbs that came on my 1a08 & 2a016 engines are foam. I've had good luck coating them with model airplane dope (getting very hard to find) and did try one in REDKOTE, but i have yet to install it and see if it works.
these carbs were considered a "toss" item. (it's the same carb as the MEP-016a/c) as it was used on all of the 1A08 / 2A016 and 4A032 engines. Most of the floatsd are foam and can be coated with model airplane dope or RedKote, to help seal them against swelling from the modern gas.
I finally got around to messing with the MEP-016a I bought like 8 years ago.
She started after a bit of work (a cobbled fuel source because of a rotten line), She runs and generates power (at least from the convenience outlets)
Issues:
"Kill" switch is wired backwards or rotated 180 degrees...
M60 series... not the M1 series chassis............. Considering they've been in service since 1961.............
The M88a1E! & M88A2 are upgrades to handle the M1 series..... but it's still the same Chassis.
The TM has a OK one of the Output selector switch (far left) but not a good one of the Curret selector switch.
I'm not gonna have a chance to post them till Monday But I can.
