'35,
With the carb sitting on your work bench.....level..........set the float
so the the free end is 1/16 lower than the hinge end while the tang on the float is gently pressing against the seated needle. Be cautious that the 90 degree bend
at the top of the tang clears the nose of the fuel inlet fitting where it protrudes

into the bowl.
