Adjustment - Float Drop

  1. With upper body and gasket removed, hold upper body in upright position and allow float to hang. If necessary, construct a gauge to specified dimensions to measure float drop setting.
  2. Use gauge to measure distance from surface of upper body to bottom of float. See Fig 1 . To adjust, bend float lever stop tab away from hinge pin to increase clearance and toward hinge pin to decrease clearance. See CARBURETOR ADJUSTMENT SPECIFICATIONS table.
