You can always rely on Jim for some valuable and practical advice. Here are
just a few added iiems.
A few more. There are transparent plugs for the sight holes, so you don't loose
gas. Rewmove after use or they turn yellow.
You don't have to remove the large flat head. Just hold it steady and turn the
nut.
There are also "tabs" on the floats that bear against the needles seat, and may
not be properly alignee. My brand new from the box Holley is at top adjustment
to barely get the fuel at the right level. I'm told this is ok, becasue things
tend to make the level drop, and now I have plenty of adjustment, but you
should make sure the "tabs" are properly bent. Mine were.
