## Discrepancy

CARBURETOR UNIT DISASSEMBLED TO CHECK FOR SERVICEABLE FLOAT BRACKET AND FOUND IT HAD A CRACK STARTING IN THE RADIUS CORNER WHERE THE EARS WERE BENT UP.  ONE CRACK ONLY WAS NOTICED.  THE RADIUS FORMED BY THE FORMING DIES FOR BENDING UP THE EARS IS TOO SHARP.  THIS WAS THE SECOND CONDITION FOUND WITH DEFECTIVE FLOAT BRACKET.
