Hi All,<br />I started rebuilding my carb on my Mercruiser 110 HP (1964, serial number 1725348 Mercruiser 110). The carb is a rochester 2 jet tag number 7020993. When adjusting my float drop the instructions say to adjust it to 1-29/32(when measureed from the float bowl with gasket in place to the 'seam' on the metal float. The original float was set to 1-21/32. Here is the wierd part, When measuring the total depth of the float bowl, it is only 1-28/32. Given that the float measurement is to the floats seam and that is about halfway on the float. Wouldn't the float literally bottom out before 1-29/32?<br /><br />Sorry to be so detailed, but you know carbs...
<br /><br />The conflicting part is that the bowl depth is 1-28/32 and the float drop (measured to the seam, which is formed from brazing together two halves of a a roughly 1" thick float) is 1-29/32. Meaning if you could imagine the float at it's maximum drop then you would imagine the float protruding out of the bottom of the bowl<br /><br />I have decided to set the float to the settings of the original and see how it goes<br /><br />thanks<br />e
