"Can anyone give me the correct carbruator float height from the charts for this model? Also the specified turns out for the pilot screw. I am assuming 1 1/2 to 1 3/4. I am running a smooth idle but miss during acceleration. The compression is good, plugs are a bit fouled on the upper 2 cylinders. "

"Thanks for the specs. Took everything apart, recleaned, adjusted two floats to 17mm, inspected everything with a magnifying lens. Runs perfect. Can't wait to hit the coast. Thanks again."

My next quest is to fix the rmp gauge. The gauge goes all the way up whenever the engine is on even at idle speed. I don't really need the gauge but it gives me something to tinker with. Where is the rpm sensed?
