float setting question

[turbotim]

I am cleaning my carburator, and want to make sure the float is set at the proper height and dont have any special tools to do it. Can someone give me a tip? Also is the only place i can get jets is at a atv/motocross shop, or can you find them in auto parts stores?

you need to do a search on the measurement for the floats. you can get jets from jets-r-us if there is no powersports store nearby but the shipping makes it kinda a ripoff

thanks searching now

The universal rule is to adjust the float to be parallel to the carbs base and just be touching the fuel inlet needle.
