Setting the float height

This information was gleaned from eurocarb.

Whenever the float or float-arm position does not correspond to the proper specified level setting or is not parallel to the float chamber face, bend the float arms carefully to set the correct position.

Table: Dell'Orto carburetor float height values

• For connected floats, hold the carburettor body in the position shown in fig. 13 and check that the float is at the correct distance from the carburettor body face as specified in the table.
• For the floats with independent parts, hold the carburettor upside down (fig. 14) and check that the float arm is parallel to the carburettor face.
