Topic: 750 F0/1 float valves Q?

[Don R]

 Sorry mods, I originally posted this question in the wrong place.

Has anyone tried the 750 F1 screened float valves in an earlier K carburetor? I like the little filter screens above the inlet and wondered if it's a do-able swap. I noticed the F1 and K6 use the same carb body number but the f has the screens on the fuel valve. 
 I'm going to buy them the next time I need any unless someone has already tried it and it didn't work.

I seem to recall seeing them in there on a k5 or k6 before but if so, who knows what had been swapped where.  Oddly enough, all the F0/F1 bikes I have worked with did have them despite not all having the same carb numbers. Pretty neat part but I feel like if any gunk or grit made it that far in the fuel system, maybe it would be better off passing on through.

 I have a bike that's a habitual float valve seeper. I've swapped the needle and seat and float a couple times.
  The painter got sand in the tank when he sandblasted the old paint off. I clean the petcock screen often and flushed/washed/blew the tank out several times. There shouldn't be anything left in the tank to make it to the carb and yet it still acts up. I also have done the clear tube method which works ok.
 If it matters, it's always #1. I've considered commissioning another set of K0 carbs that I have. That might be a good test.
