keith1948 Posted July 28, 2021 Report Share Posted July 28, 2021 Hello Roger After contacting you directly I understand you have purchased some new stay up floats because your old ones began to sink because of a pinhole. The question was how to set float height. I am assuming this is for Strombergs. Invert the carbs and the highest part of the float when the needle is against its seating should be 18.5mm or 0.73 inch. I made a tool out of a bit of perspex to do this accurately. This is best described as E shaped but with the centre bit cut off (making a square U shape). The ends rest on the body of the inverted carb and the cutout is exactly 18.5mm. Easier than using a ruler. I would post a photo but computer says I need to delete some old photos to clear space. Good luck Keith Quote Link to post Share on other sites
