Lmk carb passing fuel
Hey guys, new to forum, lmk carb, float not even with carb base when upside down, new float, new needle, tried to heat new float to sit even with carb base-------only answer is shut off valve? when i say float not even i mean it sets to high so carb leaks fuel when sitting between starts,no adjustment

It must be the float or the float valve or the seat is out of place. Was this the same problem when you took out the old parts. How did they compare in size and shape to the new ones?

thanks for responding-replaced the needle and float and still sits to high so fuel wont shut off, same position as old float and needle, seat is clean, did not know if there is an updated part for this problem, seems to be common

Parallel to the base of the carb is pretty standard on all carbs. It would be unusual for the manufacturer to crank a carb with something else out of the box.
To make sure I understand this, though - with the carb inverted the float hangs below a line parallel to the carb base or above it? Below it would be a flooding carb, above it would get you a fuel level too low = lean mixture.

yes trying to get float parallel with carb when inverted, when inverted float sits to low causing flood condition, all
pointing to seat replacement, thanks for the advice guys, will
replace seat next, i did not know you could buy the seat. i miss
the brass floats. carb kit did not have seat in it.
