27. Set float level. Turn gasket around so gauge can be placed on machined
surface of casting. Correct setting is 3/8". (Use tool T109-80.) Do
not depress float lip against spring in needle, but let float rest of its
own weight. Gauge should then be placed between free end of float and machined
surface of bowl cover. Float should be set so it barely touches gauge. Adjustment
is obtained by bending the lip on float which contacts pin in needle. Do
not bend on front of float in adjusting, as damage will result.
