When the float pin fell out, did the float valve fall out too?

hi guys ,,,about 4 years ago i went to a garage sale a biker was having in morwell ,,,victoria australia,,,,, and i purchased for $20,,, a set of cv38 carbys they had some missing screws ,,,,never looked at them until yesterday,, unrapped them washed them ,,took off the top cover and the bowl ,,,the needle and diaphram were there in both carbs ,,,but in the bowls ,,,NOTHING ... no float ,pin or valves,,,,,so i,ll probably buy some parts and build them up as a spare set ,,, .. i did try tooo look ,,not interested when i saw them .. and purchased them .. regards oldbiker

When you dunked the floats, did you use hot water or cool water?
The hot water warms the float, pressurizing the air inside a bit, makes air push out of the float and can see bubbles better.
