"The BB140A saga continues. I rebuilt both carbs and reinstalled. It ran well and I ordered the synchronizer. Then it wouldn't run well enough to synchronize. The forward carb was dry, the new float valve was stuck closed. Cleaned it up again and reinstalled, I can't find anything wrong except that the float is at 28 cm, should be at 22-26. Is this enough to cause the valve to jam? The thinnest shim is under the float valve, can I bend the tab to get it into the 22-26 cm spec?
You guys are a great resource. I am very appreciative of all advice.

"Thanks El Pescador.
Should I have the Seloc manual. I have The Volvo workshop manual and all the stuff that I could download from the Volvo site. The Seloc covers so many years and models, is there useful info in it for the BB140?
It's blowing and raining a Northeaster here but if I can get the carbs back together I am going to put on the foul weather gear and try to get this thing running again tonight.
