This is just a wild a$$ guess because I know nothing about the innards of a carb.
I have seen those hollow metal bronze-ish floats too....
One can solder a pinhole yes but be EXTREMELY careful to totally dry it out as

An optimal air fuel ratio packs quite the 'bang' if it ignites.. heat or otherwise.
