I have a 4cyl 80hp that's giving me problems and I think I may have issues with both carbs float levels. Can you guys describe how to set the float level exactly? I measured from the bowl gasket flange on the carb (beside the float) to the most upper part of the float when the carb is upside down and it's roughly 13/16". I have read that this measurement needs to 11/16". I have also read that if you measure from the same flange to the float on the most outer part of the float assembly (main air intake side of float) it should be 7/16". Another technique I was told was to make the floats level when the carb was turned upside down. The floats was set fairly level when I tore them apart but for them to be level it isn't close to either of the two measurements causing the fuel level in the bowls to be lower.
I do have very detailed pictures of these carbs with the floats measurements but cannot seem to add them to the post.
Thanks in advance for your help,
Josh
