Hello all,
The float level is measured from the carb base to the peak of the float.
When measuring the float height, hold the carb in your hand with the engine side spigot facing straight down. Rock the carb body back and forth making the float swing slowly.
Look at the adjusting tab on the float and watch for it to hit the spring loaded pin on the float needle. At the point the tab hits the pin without depressing the spring loaded pin, this is the actual float position at which the measurement is taken.
Note if you just hold the carb up side down and set the float level it will be wrong, as the weight of the float will depress the spring loaded pin in the float needle.
A quick reference to checking your float level is doing the same procedure as above and just eyeball the parting line (from the molding process that the float was made) on the float and see if it is parallel with the base of the carb.
One other thing, position the clip that holds the needle to the float with the two little ears facing away from the float pivot.
