5. Install the float and inlet needle down into the
seat and carburetor body. Insert the new pivot
pin through the float hinge and secure with the
new retaining screw. See Figure 5-12.
6. Hold the carburetor body so the float assembly
hangs vertically and rests lightly against the
fuel inlet needle. The inlet needle should be
fully seated but the center pin of the needle (on
retainer clip end) should not be depressed. Check
the float height adjustment.
NOTE: The inlet needle center pin is spring loaded.
Make sure the float assembly rests against
the fuel inlet needle without depressing the
center pin.
7. The correct float height adjustment is 12.0 mm
(0.472 in.) measured from the float bottom to the
body of the carburetor. See Figure 5-13. Adjust
the float height by carefully bending the metal
tang of the float.
NOTE: Be sure to measure from the casting
surface, not the rubber gasket, if still
attached.
8. When the proper float height is obtained,
carefully reinstall the fuel bowl, with the
O-Ring(s) in place, onto the carburetor. Secure
with the four original screws. Torque the screws
to 2.5 ± 0.3 N·m (23 ± 2.6 in. lb.). Reattach the
accelerator pump hose (if so equipped), and
secure with the clip. See Figure 5-14.
1. Clean the exterior surfaces of dirt or foreign
material before disassembling the carburetor.
Remove the four fuel bowl screws and separate
the fuel bowl from the carburetor. Transfer any
remaining fuel into an approved container.
Remove and discard the old O-Ring(s).
See Figure 5-15.
