    Seems I remember something about flipping them upside down and filling the void with liquid epoxy... ?

    But then I have slept several times since then...

    Ive done that successfully before.

    I cant imagine Tim having any luck finding proper versions.

    I read about, and copied, successfully, bowl
    gaskets that did the same thing.

    the stuffer goes above the float and fills the void so that the gas can not move away from the main jet under acceleration or tight turns.
