| O K I recived the new float valve and installed it. The 1/4 inch that your refering to, is that before or after depression of the valve and where do you adjust it , on the stem or on the tab between the pivot yoke. I still belive that it is not set correctly because I can not get it to idle down. By the way the float valve that I replaced was no where idendical to the one I recived. The one I recived is the correct one. The differance is that the one that I replaced has a hex on it to install and the one I recived is for screw driver instalation. Thanks Frank |

| Well I did everything I could with this carb, it's still giving trouble. All the previous problems are gone but now I can't get the RPM's down. It now pulsates up and down. (I wounder if it's a linkage thing) It is most noticeable at a stop and between gear shifting. I put in a new float vale and installed a new gasket. I also set the float 1/4 inch. I adjusted the fuel mixture. Still nothing. |

Hi Wes, a question on float level adjustment. Sometimes I see it listed
as 1/4 inch and sometimes 9/64 inch. That's quite a difference. Do you
know which is correct and why the change? Thanks, Sam |

After you stated the correct measurements the light bulb in my hard
head turned on I realized the reasoning. Of course the MC is adjusted
to 9/64 and the MD is 1/4 so that will give me something to do in the
shop on this windy chilly day.  Sam |
