I just cleaned my carb and I know for a fact my float is off. Possibly crooked.
I bought a float gauge and searched the site to see if there was any info on them. There is not, from what I have found. I have included a picture, and have set it to what I think is the right measurement. Or Atleast the mm of what I’ve seen on the net by looking around. If I am wrong, can someone PLEASE mark on the photo where it’s supposed to be? A little help, embarrassing I know. Just an FYI: the float gauge measures from on TOPof the lip, not at the rubber gasket. It’s on top of that little lip of the carb where the gasket is (where the bowl goes over the carb)...I would just like to make that clear and if that’s confusing, I don’t mean it to be, I’m just trying to get it right lol. I also plan on buying a clear tube to measure the gas from the nipple. Should it be over or under that seam where it’s usually measured on the carb? Or matching that height? I had read up on some of it, but there was no gauge info, hence this post.
I also was wondering what is a float drop is, how is it measured (if someone could fully explain that to me that would be awesome. I’m learning as I go) and what measurement is it.
And I need to know what angle to put the carb at when adjusting. A straight up angle will help. If you tell me, for example, “oh it’s 45 degrees” I’ll get it in a heart beat but I’ve not seen an actual direct answer. I know it’s “touching the spring but not moving” or what not...but can someone explain that? Or pictures help...a lot! It’s how I learn is by seeing and not reading. I also don’t understand the terms “tang” or just about anything that involves the float besides the float.
I’m just trying to learn and not pay a mechanic $50 to just fix a float. I want to learn mechanics and if you don’t ask, you don’t know.
