CARBURETER ADJUSTMENTS Adjustments must be made in the following order:

on pin in seated needle, the vertical distance from the projecting tip on
edge of float chamber cover (A) to soldered seam of float should be 5/16" (Fig.
I). Do not depress float lip against spring in needle, but let float rest
of its own weight. Adjustment is made by bending lip of float which contacts
pin in needle. Do not bend front of float when adjusting as damage will result.
