When adjusting the float level with a spring float needle, do you take the measurement with the float resting on the spring or do you compress the spring until the float stops?

Thanks!

With the spring loaded fuel valve ALWAYS take the measurement with the float resting on the spring. DO NOT compress the spring.

Jon.


Good carburetion is fuelish hot air
The most expensive carburetor is the wrong one you attempt to modify.

Thanks Jon! That's what I thought, but I wanted to make sure.
