[TR] TR6 Stromberg question

[Creig Houghtaling]

Good point.  I pulled the carbs for about the 4th time today to check the float levels.  On previous rebuilds, I found that making the mold lines parallel to the bottom edge would make the lowest point between 16 & 17 mm. What I learned today is that everything on the lower level of the floats can be adjusted to be between 16 & 17 mm. When all of the bottom surface is between 15 & 16, the mold line isn't parallel any more. Thanks Peter!

< I adjusted the new float to fully cl  ose the  valve when the mold line of the float was parallel with the horizontal edge of the carb where the fuel reservoir attaches.

What?  The correct float adjustment is 16-17mm between the gasket face on the carb body to the highest point of each float with the carb inverted.
