Simple way to set float level??
Is there a simple way to set the float level in a Motorcraft 2150 2bbl carb? It's on a '78 f150 4x4 351M engine. I fixed a major flooding problem (hunk of something jamming the needle) but in the process I changed the float level. I have it level now but not sure what the exact way to do it would be.
Thanks

Stan,
The only way I know of to adjust the float on these carb's is by bending the metal arm that the float is attached to. Rebuild kits come with a "L" shaped measure that you use. The rebuild instructions tell you how many 1/16's of an inch the top of the float should be from the top of the bowel housing.
Hope this helps,
