12. Hold the carburetor body so the float assembly
hangs vertically and rests lightly against the fuel
inlet needle. The inlet needle should be fully
seated but the center pin of the needle (on
retainer clip end) should not be depressed. Check
the float height adjustment.
NOTE: The inlet needle center pin is spring
loaded. Make sure the float assembly
rests against the fuel inlet needle,
without depressing the center pin.
13. The correct float height adjustment is 12.0 mm
(0.472 in.) measured from the float bottom to the
body of the carburetor. See Figure 5-25. Adjust
the float height by carefully bending the metal
tang of the float.
