Going off topic perhaps.... I have never had much joy using this fuel gauge with Tillotsons as I have never found specs for the fuel level in Tillys other than various books saying invert the upper body and then adjust the float to 1 inch from the flat surface of the body ... not very scientific as obviously float weight makes a difference to this rough and ready advice. Can anyone give the correct measurement for the fuel level on a Tilly? and tips on how to achieve it ?
