The morning was spent adjusting the float level in Dan's carburetor.
It had been dying at stop signs.
The special testing apparatus was from Paul Ranney's collection.

You can adjust the float with a ruler.
The top of the float to the top of the body top should be 5/8 inches.
To remove the float, pull out the hinge pin. Then unscrew the needle and remove seat (shim)
