Westerbeke 4.5 BCGTC Generator 1999

[homelite]

I need a float for the carb. Or a used carb. I can't believe how popular these were, esp in Sea Ray in those years, but I can't find any carb parts for the Weber carb. The Westerbeke PN is 42776 for the carb. the parts list does not show a PN for the float for some reason. TheWeber carb number is 302cf. Any help or ideas for a used carb? Someone must collect and rebuild these.
