sorry to intrude, but, how do you set the float level in a r-16, hitach carbs, with the newer metal encased plastic, free floating floats ?
i set the metal lever piece at 12mm from float chamber top. after warm up, the engine idles fine(2 turns down on mixture), but back fires and
starves trying to rev. i can pull out choke and revs ok then, so carbs are lean. how close to the top of the moveable jet should the fuel be?
ive done a ton of the carbs with the brass and solid plastic floats. my first time using the metal encased plastic free standing floats.
