ok, so the float pin is secure...if it was me,I'd get an 800 carb body and look if I could mod it to accept the tps...

Hello Troll

The clearance in the carb bowel is pretty close so I drilled and placed a roll pin in the boss. I believe the float support is working properly now. (believe being used very loosely)
I noticed fuel leaking from the bike the other day and assumed (yes I know what that means) it was from the carb as that was what I had been screwing around with. In the mean time i have discovered a leaking petcock on the fuel tank and am currently awaiting parts for that. Im not sure the carb fix is permanent so I would consider another carb. I have found the Drifter carbs to be somewhat rare so that is where I am at.

How did you try to fix the broken boss? The TPS controls the signal to the electronic spark advance..it will run without it...NEED MORE INFORMATION!!!!!

Bump. Anyone? Best of luck but no carb background.

Keep us updated. Hopefully someone here has a solution.

Ok guys I need help!
Pulled the carb off my wife's 800 drifter to clean and during the disassembly managed to break the boss for the float pin. UGH!
It seems the Drifter Carb is not the same as the Vulcan carb and is not available for purchase. ( Vulcan carb has no TPS )
I have tried salvage with no luck. I have no problem replacing the carb with a different model but lack this knowledge.

Any help would be appreciated.
