Posted few weeks ago , this is a follow up
I had a crazy thing happen ,
Fuel was back flowing into oil tank , reserve oil tank , reserve tank was overfilling dumping oil & gas into bilge .
Many said this is impossible , but this is what happened ,
float was resting on metal ,Needle not seating allowing fuel too keep flowing ,
Oil check valve was not working , allowing fuel too back flow ,
Check valve is not available , contacted many sources , nothing around
Last post I asked what substitutes others used ,
Was informed by fellow boater they saw one on ebay , YEP there was one and i ordered , Everything is done , Adjusted needle and reset float , Tested using ball , NO FUEL coming when float lifted ,
SO MY QUESTION , before I reinstall everything what is the correct height of float ,
, float is sitting off bottom plate apx 1/3 with slight incline just under 1/2 at end ,
Should it be around 1/3 off flat bottom , level all the way ?
