Good deal on Float level gauge?
« on: September 13, 2008, 08:17:51 AM »
 From what I've seen other places sell these for this looks like a pretty good deal

Looks like a pretty good price.  I admit to having one.  But a plain metal machinist's pocket rule will do just as well.

We had a thread on this somewhere.  Pretty good variety of solutions.

I don't even use a caliper. When I need it, I just cut a gauge from a piece of carboard, to the right float height, and discard it. It takes less time to make a new one if I need it, than to try to find it after years. In theory, float height should only have to be adjusted once. If I have to clean my carbs in the future, I know the height was already set to specs, so no need to adjust it....
