Hello,
I have been a bit confused on this for a while so have been trying to split the difference.
On adjusting the float levers it has measurement D at 10mm. I am a bit confused as my carb top has a lip and the diagram does not. If i measure from the top of the lip, the top lever is exactly at 10, I i measure from the outside, it is 11mm. The second measurement is dialed in, so just trying to figure out this one schematic unclarity so i can get them to spec!
Ian

Ian, As long as the top carb lever is parallel to the carb cover face (cover inverted like in your picture), and the levers are 1/4" (6mm?) apart with the carb cover right side up, you are fine....
