I used Permatex Cold Weld to repair the float stand-offs in my old TS250. The fuel that was left in the bowl for decades literally dissolved one of the stand-offs, so I built a new one out of Cold Weld and then filed it to shape. After it was formed, I used the hole in the other stand-off as a guide and drilled the float pin hole. It has worked ever since.

If you apply Cold Weld (or whatever) to one side of the floats to repair a hole, try to add a similar amount to the other float in the same spot, in an attempt to balance it. Use as little as possible.
