OK, so here’s the new float I put in my Sea King 3hp. It’s about 3/4″ in height, same as the old float. The distance between the top and bottom retainer clips on my carb is about 1.25″ so with the new float installed up against the top clip, there’s about 1/2″ between the bottom of the float and the bottom retainer clip. Seems to me that the thinner the float, the more fuel would enter the bowl before it reaches the float and raises the float pin to cut off the flow. Just trying to avoid a fuel overflow through the cover like you had and wondering if I need to use a taller float. Thoughts?
