The Plastic White Float is supposed to stop the Gas coming into the Carbeurator?
The problem with leakings is because it is stuck at the bottom of the bowl.
Other than that I think my bike will work when I buy the new Fuel Filter.

I'll try to sort of explain the float and why you see it at the bottom of the bowl when taken off the carb.

When gas enters the bowl in your carb the float rises and pushes the fork up which is connected to the float needle and stops the gas from entering the bowl, as the gas is used up the float lowers which lowers the fork and the float needle and lets more gas into the bowl as needed.
