The difficulty with the float adjustment if you never know exactly where the fuel level is since you can not see in the carb. I cannot see in it either. However, if you do the following, you can see exactly the level of the fuel and you can adjust until you get precisely what is called for. Shut the gas off going to the carb. Remove the plug from the bottom of the carb. Get a barbed fitting, type used for tubing, and screw it in the carb where you removed the plug. Take a short length of clear tubing and install it on the barbed fitting and and bow the tubing upright to where it is vertical and adjacent to the carb bowl. Turn the gas on and observe the level of gas in the clear tubing. The level in the tubing is exactly the same as the level in the bowl. With a little patience and some trial and error you can get the float set precisely where it should be and with confidence know it is set correctly. If you leave the setup connected and observe for a while, you can determine if the needle/seat is working correctly as the level of gas will stay constant if the seat is not leaking. If you will carefully start the engine and bring it up to high idle you can observe the level of fuel in the carb, via the clear tube, to see if it remains constant thus verifying that the fuel delivery to the carb is adequate and the fuel supply is not restricted. So, whatcha think?
