Message: [QUOTE="Jim Crenca, post: 524223, member: 22335"] Man you guys have way too much time on your hands. IMO, a fresh inlet jet is much more critical than minutia in measurement so one might start there. I machinist scale has worked well for me and the numbers in the manual seem about right. You can also blow through the fuel line fitting while moving the float to get a sense of when in the float stroke the seal actual happens. BTW, I've worked with an automotive carb rebuild shop that flow tests each carb prior to shipment. They use a non-flamable liquid with a specific gravity very close to gasoline (of course race gas is different than pump if you feel realy anal retentive). I'm told that mineral spirits or kerosene is a reasonably close alternative if you choose to go the chemistry set route. :thumb: [/QUOTE]
