January 15, 201114 yr when measuring it .do i turn carb up the ryt way and let the floats hang or up side down and measure ? Stand the carb upside-down (as pictured below) on a desk or similar and use a steel rule to measure the distance X in the diagram. Place the end of the rule in the red rectangle, take measurement from the side as arrowed. Should they need adjusting, bend the small tab circled, being very careful not to break it. (Pictured from above) HTH EDIT: Picture added ( the picture is angled and the float is actually set at 21mm)
January 15, 201114 yr Just remember when checking to make sure that the adjusting tang of the float (item A in first diagram) is JUST touching the tip of the needle valve (item as it is spring loaded and if you let the floats rest under their own weight you will get a false reading .Tony
