is the the float height on carburetor .590? mine is set at .625 and was flooding it out, top carb so i took carb. off to see if float was bad, needle valve,etc. waiting on rebuild kit .
thanks for any info and this what was going on with my last post on trim up.

is there anything to be aware of when putting together or is it pretty simple.

SM shows the float height to be .55". Plus or minus .08". From the carburetor body.

Pretty much the same way you took it apart.

I'd visually check all the jets while you have it apart.

I do not think the float out of spec is what caused the flooding.
Trash in seat or bad needle or seat.
Make sure you flush the lines and pump out so more does not enter carb once cleaned and reinstalled

Its apparently just out of spec (a knats hair) per Boscoes #'s, but +1 on crap in the seat/needle or just worn out..
