[QUOTE="CarlHungness, post: 174344, member: 2517"] I made a fitting from brass tube that almost went into the threads, filed it until it could be barely screwed in without knackering the threads, then filed it a bit more, put some Teflon tape on it, and it worked. The rear float seems to be as close as dammit to the photos here and just below the thread of the adjusting screw. Near as I can tell the front is a bit higher, but even my un-trained eye says I'm in the ballpark. I've ordered a couple of top cap gaskets, mine has none. Holding the camera and hose with my handicapped right thumb is a challenge and hope these show where my level is. So overall, I think I'm still in trouble..I may need some mod to the levels but not sure. It STILL seems like the engine was starving for fuel once I got it running...and then with the B-TH when I got it to run it was rough as can be. [/QUOTE]
