Hello: I'm just rebuilding the carb on this outboard as a precaution. It was running fine. I'm not sure if it's me or the Clymer manual (page 145, volume B721). It is a model number 0B388775 outboard. I'm looking at the diagram for float adjustment in the manual and it shows the dimension as one inch from the float bowl gasket surface to what they show to be a projection above the top surface of the float itself. The float I have is as shown at this link (hope it works) as item #5 and there is no projection on it, the top is simply flat.

I guess my basic question is this: Should the 1" be to the top surface of the float itself and ignore the manual which shows some sort of projection above the top of the 'donut' float? If I do measure this dimension now it's more like 7/8" or less. Your comments appreciated, Dean
