Carter B&B Carburetor

Weight it down in a bowl of gas and watch for bubbles.

I've got my carburetor disassembled, cleaned, and ready for paint. While I'm working on the paint I wanted to "test" the float as I have read should be done. How do I accomplish this?

Hold it next to your ear and shake it. If you hear any liquid sloshing around the float is bad. Otherwise it should be good.

Hold it in needle nose and submerge in very hot water. Any bubbles and it has a leak.
