Quick question on adjusting floats
« on: April 17, 2006, 10:48:59 PM »
The spec for my floats is 26mm. I know thats the distance between the carb body, and the bottom of the float, when barely touching the float valve plunger pin thingy...... but is that set when the float valve is all the way up (closed) and the tab is just touching the float valve pin?

Yes, that's it. Tilt them far enough to close the valve, then back off enough to just touch the tip of the valve without compressing the little spring loaded tip.
