    If the springs in the float valves don't hold up the floats, it's time for new valves.

    No sense in chasing your tail over an inexpensive detail like this.

      I put in new ones, thing is I'm confused as to when to measure, with the floats loose is compresses the plunger a little, then further if you add a little pressure or push on the float. Do I measure with this slight compression or do I lift the float till it's just touching the plunger then set my float height? Its a matter of a couple of mm's.
