New carb floats

Today I removed and replaced the carb floats. The old floats were near the limit but less than 7 grams. The new floats have the same part number as the old. My 12 has about 18 hours on it. I hope the new ones last longer than that.
 
Not really. You still need to inspect them during the condition inspection or sooner if you see/smell gas. The "new" floats are the same as the "old" floats in terms of their manufacturing, they just go through a third, additional check before leaving the factory.
