Message: [QUOTE="JKoepsell, post: 1174289, member: 76475"] I measured it by the distance (carb being upside down) between the "gasket surface" and the highest point on the float.... Another way I tested it to make sure I was measuring the right distance was to attach the fuel line. I would leave the bowl off and keep the gas on.... Then I would lower the float by hand 'till I found the sweet spot between gas and no gas. I measured the bottom of the float (it being right-side up now) to the "gasket surface". 2Strokerfun - The tang which you bend is part of the float, when the fuel level rises, so does the float and tang. The tang is what the float valve rests upon and as the fuel rises it blocks off the hole the gas runs through, just like the toilet example. When you bend the tang upwards with the float right side up, it forces the valve to shut earlier... I am going to try again, maybe I made some stupid mistake or something... it happens a lot unfortunatly :coocoo: :) [/QUOTE]
