Tecumseh 3.5hp gave me some more problems

I went out to check the Murray lawn mower, and it was flooded.....the carb was still not working correctly.  I know that the seals are good, the needle and seal are good, the only thing left is the float.  I took the float off and didn't notice anything wrong with it.  Then very, very slowly liquid began to seep out of a pinhole crack in the shell.  I drilled a hole in the shell where the crack was, drained it completely of all the liquid inside, then patched the hole with J.B. Weld.  Works like a champ now, no leaks and runs better than ever.  A damaged float is such a rare problem that it's really easy to overlook.  You don't expect it because the float does nothing other than float in gasoline and work the needle.  Anyway, have it posted to sell on Craigslist, so hopefully I find a buyer soon.
