Float Adjustment 1 Month, 1 Week ago
|
|
Everyone says to adjust the float from the BACK (manfold side) but it is very hard to see does anyone know the difference from the FRONT (air fiter side) and the back in mm. it would be alot easer to see, and is the 1700 4-5mm above mating surfaces? |

I think it lists the difference in the Tech articles. Carb section. 
Just for giggles I set mine the other day even with the rear mating surface. No problems so far. |

Probably when hell freezes over.  Can't seem to get to it. 
Here are some pics ...... Float Level Pics
Quick and dirty 'Instructions':
I clamped my carb to a board clamped to a vise ... this put the carb at eye level.
Put a level on the black cap and level the carb.
Attach gas line to the fuel inlet and put a funnel on the end.
Add fuel to the funnel. Make sure the fuel bowl if full of gas otherwise you will get and erroneous reading.

All this talk about float levels I better take mine off and check it. one ? though I see how to check it but how do you adjust it I searched for the adjustment and only see how to check it.
Am I missing something? I'm going to tear into it tomorrow if there is nothing going on at work. Fridays are really slow..

You carefully bend the metal tab. It doesn't take much.

Ditto what Doc said. The first time I did it I went from one extreme to the other several times before it dawned on me that I needed to just tweak it a little.  |
