You know when I rebuilt the carb, it seemed that the float drop and height
dimensions seemed real limiting.
I was very careful to set the drop and height by the spec sheet with the
kit, but it also seemed very different from how the float "was" prior to the
rebuild. It is the appropriate Rochester single carb. Does anyone have the
proper float drop dimensions that I could double check my setup with? That
would be great if that was all it was. It doesn't explain why it has changed
over time though.....
Thanks!
Casey
