Clear Tube Method Question
« on: March 16, 2015, 02:30:55 PM »
Trying to check the float levels on my 76 550 (so the non-PD carbs) but I can't seem to find what the right size of clear tubing is. I tried 1/8 inch OD, but it was too small. Suggestions?

It's a little motor and likes having the tits revved off it.

3/8 or 1/4" should work.
just taper it to fit in the drain screw hole.
