Flip the top over with the float attached. It should now be closed. I have a measuring device made for this, but most kits come with a L shaped paper "ruler". The one leg of th L sits on the flat spot of the top, (Where the 2 halves would meet), the upright part should have the meaurements on it and the top, really the bottom, of the float should be at the specs I gave, which I think are the correct ones for that carb. Understand, or do I need to expalin it better?

James and John. I have 3 F-14's and 2 F-12's. I too had a little trouble adjusting the float level. The book says to adjust the fuel level to 23/32"-25/32" below bottom of upper body. That is slightly less than 3/4". But since 26/32"=3/4" I use that. The method I wound up using is to hold the top of the carb in its normal position. That is with the float hanging down. Using a ruler, not a tape measure, measure from the gasket lip of the top to the center of the float which should be 3/4". This method ensures you will have enough fuel in the float chamber even after installing the gasket between the top and bottom halves of the carb. I have not had to use two gaskets under the seat. All of my tractors will start on 2-3 pulls.

I guess what both of you are saying is there should be 3/4 of a inch between the upper carb housing and the top of the float.And do either one of you know a NAPA# for a new fuel pump.Ill call Rice Monday mourning

Napa will not have a new fuel pump, BUT I have been told one from a early 50s Chevy is the same, just without the sediment bowl. I thought my specs were off, David gave the right ones, and now that I think about it, originally I used 2 seat gaskets, butnow that I have a new float in it, I no longer needed it.
