[Healeys] Setting fuel level in float bowls

[Greg Lemon]

Bob,  suspect you are right, if it seals at that point then that should set 
the level right, also suspect the car would run fine on either setting or 
somewhere in between.  as I recall the second test or proof of correct float 
setting it to pull the dashpot and needle after the car has been running, 
and the fuel level should be slightly below to top of the jet, one online 
source I read says "slightly" below, I don't know if the manual has a spec, 
but 1/8" or so comes to mind.

In my experience with various SU carbed cars over the years including my old 
100, slight differences in float level have not made a difference that I 
could tell anyway in operating characteristics, as long as it is "somewhere 
slightly below the level of the jet" but I set them to factory spec as best 
I can anyway, YMMV, Greg Lemon
