Carb Rebuild

The plastic card was cut to the amount that should be correct setting. Hence my measurement tool.
The float needle valve (silver in the pic) has a spring in it. That is not supposed to be compressed just resting the needle against the seat. That means you kinda have to measure it at an angle not laying flat like this picture. You should just be able to slide your tool over the float when it is just setting against the needle seat.

I hope that helps. Someone else may be able to explain it better than I have.



That's a great idea to use the card like that. I usually use calipers, but, your way looks a lot easier.
