Carb Float for Johnson 6hp (6R78)?

[gnarleygnu]

I'm in the process of rebuilding my Seahorse's carb. I recently bought the iboats carb rebuild kit for my make/model. Unfortunately the carb kit does not come with a carb float for some reason. When I pulled and examined my current carb float it looks like it is pretty fuel/oil saturated and pretty banged up. So, I need a carb float but iboats does not have a carb float for my engine model listed. I feel like I've looked everywhere, but am unable to dig a float up for my Seahorse. Is there a substitute float that I can use (e.g 18hp Johnson 1969-1973)? Or do I have to go out and find/buy another carb kit for my Seahorse that includes a float?

Thanks in advance for your help, this is a fantastic forum.

Call a marina w/brp parts (most all of 'em do).
