thanks.
ok, now i am confused as to what is the proper height of the needle valve.
the instructions state to use a 1/16 inch washer and then bend the floats
to equal 16mm at the back part.
but if i add washers, thent he height of the entire float will be different,
mainly
noticeble on the front portion.
i am not confident that the DPO installed the correct washer heights.
thanks for any advice.
