If the problem is just a pin hole, and gas inside, it may be practical to repair it. You can hear gas inside sloshing around. If you submerge the float in hot tap water, a stream of bubbles will lead you to the pin hole. Drill it out so you can drain the gas; and carefully solder it shut.

The float you are looking for is Studebaker part number 198900
Carter part number 21-70S.
The were used from 1940-58 on most Carter WE and WA series.
I will check my stock to see if I have some left.
