Carb Float Level Measurement?
I posted this on CC.com but no responses so far...anyone have any idea? I did find that the "dry" setting should be 7/16" but not sure on the wet setting.
I've recently rebuilt the OEM Motorcraft 2100 carb on the 302. It's up and running ok now but I would like to make sure the float measurement is correct. I have the factory manual and the "Fuel Level Float Adjustment - Wet" section tells you how to measure it, but not what the actual measurement should be. Does anyone have any idea what this measurement is? Thanks!
4. While the engine is idling, use a standard depth scale to measure the vertical distance from the top machined surface of the carburetor main body to the level of the fuel in the fuel bowl Fig. 13. The measurement must be made at least 1/4-inch away from any vertical surface to assure an accurate reading, because the surface of the fuel is concave higher at the edges than in the center. Referto the specifications for the correct fuel level Wet setting.
5. If any adjustment is required, stop the engine to minimize the hazard of fire due to fuel spray when the float setting is disturbed. Toadjust the fuel level, bend the float tab contacting the fuel inlet valve upwardin relation to the original position -to raise the fuel level, and downward to lower it. Each time an adjustment is made to the float tab to alter the fuel level, the engine must be started and permitted to idle for a few minutes to stabilize the fuel level. Check the fuel level after each adjustment until the specified level is obtained.

Thanks! Maybe this will fix that fuel-odor that fills the garage after every ride.

Re: Carb Float Level Measurement?
Just finished adjusting it. It was a bit higher than the 13/16s mark so I adjusted the float down a bit and got it to right around that mark. It's in the garage now so we'll see if I still get that crazy fuel odor.
