I want an SC in addition to my classic. If I had to choose one......... well ,I guess I already have
Hopefully I can choose two!
The reason one really needs a float level gauge is someone could have in the past used one and adjusted the float level by bending the little tab on the floats that contact the fuel inlet valve to obtain the correct fuel level rather than adding or subtracting washers under the valve.
This throws off any measuring of any float to carb body measurement method described in some manuals.
This scenerio happened to me on a couple of carbs years ago rebuilding some carbs (Zenith or Webers?). The 2 floats had the tabs in different positions, so I didn't know which was correct. Only a fuel level measurement via the external gauge as the car was running seemed reliable.
