Lynn, do you happen to have the dimensions for the float level in the Weber 48. I have the Haynes manual on Webers, but I can't find the float level for the 48. The engine won't start with the carb unless I inject some WD-40 into the carb, the idle adjustment is set according to spec's. The larger return line lowered the fuel press to 0, so I set it at 3 pounds, which fills the carb with gas without leaking. JohnD
