I agree with the knowledge of the folks on here. From garden tractors and tiny generators all the way up to big bad old trucks and tractors. Hold the carb upside down and the float should be dead level. I hook a little rubber or vinyl hose to the inlet of the carb and gently blow into it. You should be able to just gently lift the rear of the float and you will feel the pressure drop. Otheres have said about carefully adjusting the little tang on the older style brass floats. This is very very critical to note. Do NOT EVER push down on the float. You just potentially messed up the float needle valve and or the seat it goes into. It will most likely be a constant leaker. Take the float back out and use a good pair of needle nose plyers. All of the new style carbs have plastic floats. I have never needed to adjust them. Have fun.

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule.
