Yeah... that's more or less what the Clymer manual suggests. Clymer is popular in the US. Here not so much. Clymer makes a big thing of this float adjustment, the Haynes not. Is that why so many in the US believe there's something wrong with the float level? In the European fora 'the problem' is hardly mentioned if at all. I am fully aware that with unused carbs that have been left with fuel for years and years you may see a problem. But in Europe we have the experience that the float sytem is very reliable and - like mine - functions flawlessly for decades without ever needing readjustment. It's just not a regular maintenance thing. Over in the US there seems to be a problem. My feeling is that the problem is caused by owners themselves who - eager to do 'maintenance' - have read the Clymer manual.
