    I have never understood the purpose behind a float drop adjustment.  Why would it matter?  Assuming that the bowl was not deep enough for the float to drop so far that the needle could fall out…….

    Someone please explain please?



    It occurred to me that possibly it’s to keep the float from laying on the bottom
    of the float bowl as the gas dries up while the motor is not being used, especially
    through the winter. The float could get stuck on the bottom? Just guessing.
