"Can anybody give me an advise on setting a float lavel for Mercarb 2BBL carburetor.
The manual calls for the lip at the toe of the float to measure the level, the new float that I've got does not have a lip, it has 2 dots on each side (this is a plastic float). Are those dots used for float level setting? If yes which one is which and what will be a correct level (I have a spring loaded needle valve).In general what would be the correct procedure for setting up the level with this float.
I appreciate any advise."

"Thanks, this is actually how I did set it up, just by observing the old one which was seating parallel to the plate.
Another question - is there a big difference between Mercarb and Rochester 2GC, I mean performance, reliability, fuel economy?"
