FLOAT LEVEL CHECK AND ADJUSTMENT:
Float adjustments are set at the factory, but variations in fuel pressure could cause a change in these settings. The following
procedure shows how to make these adjustments:
1. Start the vehicle.
2. Remove the fuel bowl sight plug.
3. Observe the sight plug hole for the fuel level. If none is seen, the level is too low. Fuel should be even with the bottom of
the sight plug hole. If fuel comes pouring out of the sight hole, the float is set too high.
NOTE:
A properly set float level will have the fuel level located at the bottom edge of the sight hole, as shown by the line in
Figure 12.

4. To adjust, shut down the engine.
5. Loosen the lock screw on top of the fuel bowl just enough to allow you to turn the adjusting nut. Hold the screw in position
with the screwdriver.
6. Using a 5/8” wrench, turn the adjusting nut in the appropriate direction: Clockwise to lower float and counterclockwise to
raise float.
7. Turn the adjusting nut in increments of 1/4 of a rotation.
8. Retighten the lock screw.
9. Restart the vehicle and observe the sight plug hole.
10. Repeat steps 1 through 8, as necessary.
