Default Carburetor Float Picture
I have tried to find in search a picture of the Zenith carburetor showing where to measure the float level and how much?
Thanks for any info anyone can provide.

Les Andrews book shows a photo on how to measure it. Also in the Technical Section of the newest "Restorer" magazine there was a question about it.

Look on page 11 and 12 of the attached article for an explanation of setting the float level.

Yes there was! I'm glad someone noticed!

In fact, that illustration is taken from Les Andrews' book (with his kind permission). He's really a great help to me with information and illustrations like that.

You all have a happy and safe 4th of July!
