Ok, Bill – you lost me. Must
admit my carburetor knowledge is a bit on the skimpy side.
However, in the carburetors I recall –
when the float level was high in the bow that meant there was lots of fuel in
the bowl, when the float level was low in the bowl the fuel was also. Am
I confused or did you “misspeak” {:>)?

Finn,
Running Carburetors if the float level is too high, and therefore the fuel
level too low, it can prevent the vacuum from raising the fuel enough to keep
the engine running. This is less common than the FUEL level being too HIGH
which will cause the engine to go rich when the throttle is closed. I see the
rich condition far more often.
