    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I understand from viewing Mr. BassCliff's website where to measure on the float itself but where am I measuring too the picture doesn't show the other end of the caliper. If I did it correct my floats are 5mm off at least.

:eek:
 
Look where the bowl gasket sits, there is a little ridge running all along that edge. That is where the other end of the caliper sits.

Maybe this will help?

Do you put it on top of that ridge?
I have always done it on the flat surface next to the ridge.

Yeah, I usually have the caliper turned 90 degrees from the way it's pictured, and the width of the end of the caliper straddles the ridge.
I have not measured the ridge, but it's what ... 0.5 mm? :-k

Seems the PO adjusted the floats to the step in the float rather than the correct spot.

I have a spring between the float tang and needle all the parts fiche I look at do not seem to show this spring. Should it be there? can i remove it? it seems to hamper the tang from closing the needle.

The step in the float IS the correct spot:

PO set height to where red x is not green arrow. Consequently, carbs always overflowed. No gas in oil but out my pod filters.

Ah. I guess we had different definitions of what the "step" was.

Carry on!
