I have been using the cap surface or should I say the surface of the gasket on the cap since that has always been installed already when I make my final measurements.

Thanks, Lee.

And the float is good, I put it in a pot of hot water and no bubbles. So I readjusted both the float level and drop to try to lower the level of fuel in the bowl. Will report next flight.

And the carb is a B model, though the tag is missing, if it is original, the number is 7004468.


Those levels are right, Lee. Did you check to see if the power piston was freely moving when you had it apart?
