With the cover gasket removed and the cover held upside down, carefully bend float as shown to obtain a scale dimension of 23/32" from the face of cover to the top of soldered seam at front of float. Do not bend at front of float.

The float system consists of the float needle seat and gasket “A”; the needle valve “B” and the float assembly “C”.

The carburetor bowl acts as a reservoir to hold the supply of fuel. To maintain the proper fuel level under all road conditions the float tag “D” is always in contact with the balance spring “E”. This balance spring serves a two fold purpose: first, it acts as an effective vibration dampner to prevent needle wear and to maintain the correct fuel level; secondly, it permits the use of smaller and more efficient float.
