I'm clearly not the person to be an expert but I've noticed this same
"discrepancy". My feeling has been that I feel resistance on my Spit '77
plunger thing at about 1/4" from the threads regardless of how much oil is
in it. Don't you think? So I go by "fill to 1/4" of the top" rule.
Which brings up another question: on these late model ZS carbs with the
adjustable needle - how do you fix an oil leak? Mine dribbles out the oil
and my books don't say how you get it apart to fix the seal.
Thanks, brent
