Default Tilly Carb Float Setting ??

How do you set the float height on a Tillotson carb? My float is round and l see no center line to go by.

Anyway if you are using a Tilly, cut this guage out of thin plastic or an index card. Put on each side of Tilly round float to ensure it is even across.

I like the gauge concept, but l can't quite read the numbers when I enlarge it. Could you just type the four numbers in order in a reply. Thanks

Never mind. I was able to read it on another computer. Thanks. What does the 50mm angled side do?

Nothing. Just efficient use of scarce paper resources.
