FLOAT ADJUSTING PROCEDURE
All Tecumseh carburetors with an adjustable float
require the correct float height to achieve the proper
operation and easy engine starts. To check the float
setting, hold the carburetor in an upside down position.
Remove the bowl nut, float bowl, and "O" ring. Place
an 11/64" (4.369 mm) drill bit across the top of the
carburetor casting on the opposite side and parallel
to the float hinge pin. The float must just touch the
drill bit when the bit is flush with the edge of the
float. If the float is too high or too low, adjust the
height by bending the tab accordingly. If the required
adjustment is minor, the tab adjustment may be made
without removing the float and carefully inserting a
small bladed screwdriver to bend the tab.
