I do use new brass floats but I always resolder them myself just to be certain, but then again I have a resistance type soldering iron which makes the job easy and I use a silver based solder along with a brush on flux.
I guess if you preheat the float a bit you could solder it with a 40 watt iron for electronics use.

Steve - re-soldering will solve the issue with the new floats. Unfortunately, not everyone has your ability with a soldering iron.
I can, but too lazy to do so when we still have thousands of used 2GC carbs, most of which have good original floats. Jon
