Default Re: carb stall

Having just gone through setting the float on a Marvel carb, thanks to other articles here on the forum, the quickest way is to remove the carb, take off the cover and check the float level by using a 1/4 inch drill across the cover to check the distance from the cover to the top of the float (bottom of float when turned upside down). You can also order the fuel level measuring kit from Renner's, be aware the instructions on some of Renner's kits say 1/2 inch from bowl flange to the fuel level, however in speaking with them this should actually be 3/4 inch. They also have gaskets that can be used to adjust the fuel inlet valve height and not have to bend the float.
