wickiewicked240z Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Im trying to set up the float measurement but I do not have a DCOE gauge. Is there away to set the float level with out having to buy a gauge. Specially since the ones I found are being shipped from the United Kingdom.

duragg Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 I have that special float gauge and wasn't all that impressed with it. Very tricky to locate the exact spot to set the base and can impact measurements. Surface tension can cause the liquid to creep up the well and spoof readings. I had better luck with a micrometer and a bright light. Slide the micrometer depth checker into the well and watch for the gas to just tickle indicating contact. This was by far the most repeatable measure for me. I even posted some pictures over on the Yahoo "Sidedraft Central" forum Tj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wickiewicked240z Posted February 7, 2013 Author Share Posted February 7, 2013 I Cut 2 pieces of wood they measure 8.5mm and 15mm so that should get me in the ballpark. I'll check it with a micrometer depth checker when I hook up the fuel lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
