kind of extension. Can anyone explain?

Me: I was puzzled by this statment, too. I am guessing Matt meant a lateral
extension that would offset the torque wrench drive axis from the socket and
nut axis. I've never seen such a thing, but I can imagine it. If this is a
correct interpretation, Matt is right, it would make the torque reading
invalid.

Me: Float level is crucial and is one of the first things to do when dealing
with carbs of unknown history. Go with what the book says, assuming you can
figure that out. ;-)
Fortunately, you shouldn't need to do it again for many years.
