Floats can become sinks on the Bing model 84. You can check it by just putting the float in a container of gas. It should not sink to the bottom. I bought a float from Bing USA for Spanish Bing #12301/1. I think the newer floats are black. The part number was 350300 $15.78. http://www.bingcarburetor.com/ On another note, I also bought a slide that did not have the same cut-away as the original. Bike ran very rich through the mid range and ended up changing back to the original worn slide. Bob

looks good, Fox Shox should be mounted with the chamber at the top as they were on your bike originally. I have these on my 199A as well. Also if you rotate the kick start lever forward on the spline a notch or two, you will get a bit more engine rotation before the kicker hits the footpeg. Where did you get the new fenders and the tank decals? Bob
