I was thinking...
...last year when I experienced the carburetor float issue it took me a few weeks to locate and have delivered a used float. Rojo was out of commission for this time. In my mind it was peak operating time for her (e.g. Early Spring driving weather, Kid's baseball games, trips to Dairy Queen). In order to avoid future downtime I decided to look for a replacement carburetor in the event something similar happened again. A simple search on ebay motors helped me locate a seemingly perfect replacement carb for the same price I paid for the float one year prior - $40!
