I have 3.0 (181) 1989 with Rochester 2G 17086064 carb. What is correct float level for this carburetor & engine combination? I have some datasheet supplied with the carb overhaul kit, but it does not include my carburetor numbers. Many models are level 5/8 and drop 1-7/8.
What kind of signs engine indicates when running too lean?

My second question is cobra coupler. It's original, manufactured in 1988 and it looks good. Should i still replace it?

The specs for your carb are 1/2" level and 1 3/4" drop.
If the coupler was working OK and looks OK I'd reuse it. They usually only fail from an alignment problem or oil contamination.
