Substitue for carb float gauge for Johnson motor?

[tinhog69]

I am rebuilding carbs on my 70 horse johnson. The manual says to use a float gauge to check the float level. Since this is Sunday does anyone know of a way to properly check this height without a gauge? Like to get this done and tested today but I probably will wait to buy one of these.

Hey Tinhog,<br />Turn the carb. bodys upside down the floats should be parallel with the body of the carbs.

First off, didn't your rebuild kit include some kind of instructions? When i rebuilt the carbs on my chrysler the kit came with instructions and a gauge and the proper measurements, all i can tell you is call your dealer or repair shop tomorow. By the way what type of carb is it?

Hello,<br />I just rebuilt my 1988 johnson outboard and it did not come with intructions either, Did not have float gage either so I aligned the flaots witht the carb body and motor runs great no probs.
