THESE FLOATS AND CLIPS WERE FOUND IN HA-6 CARBURETORS ORIGINALLY MADE. THE 29-182 TYPE CLIP IS INTENDED FOR USE WITH FLOAT FRAMES MADE OF STAINLESS STEELE. THE BRASS FLOATS EQUIPPED WITH THE 29-182 TYPE CLIPS APPEAR TO HAVE HAD THE BRACKET, PN 178-48, REMOVED TO WHICH THE PROPER WIRE FORM NEEDLE RETRACTION CLIP PN 29-194 ATTAHCES. EXCESSIVE WEAR OF THE FLOAT FRAME COULD RESULT IN THE FLOAT SYS STICKING AND COULD RESULT IN FUEL FLOW TO THE ENGINE BEING INTERRUPTED OR RESTRICTED. PN 29-182 FLOAT CLIPS ARE NOT APPROVED BY THE CARBURETOR MFG FOR USE WITH BRASS FLOAT FRAMES. SUBMITTER RECOMMENDS THAT CLIP TYPE 29-182 NEVER BE USED WITH BRASS TYPE FLOATS.
