by chance no one would happen to have a float for a wcfb carb?

It's a good and legit question.
Brass floats can spring a leak and fill with gas and sink...
They can also be crushed by raised atmospheric air pressure.
Phenolic floats can have the coating abrade away and soak up gas and sink.
Good to be curious, as you are...

How does a float go bad, I have never had that problem... I could picture the tab breaking? or does the solder fail? Curious, not trying to pick at the post....

Many 'sunk' brass floats are reparable. Drain the fuel or water. Heat gently to purge vapors, then solder the hole closed. Test in water to confirm it is sealed.
thnx, jv.
