ssuming M/S N carb, I use ruler & needle nose pliers. 1/4"(quoted from post at 15:43:50 02/18/21) cranks and runs fine for 5 minutes. then stops and will not restart. gas drips out air intake side. How do i adjust the float without the special tool shown in the manual? or where do i get the tool or any other way to measure?
y FO-4 manual does not show a special tool for adjusting the float, just a picture and text talking about the 1/4". Easy to check and easy to bend the float arms it necessary!.(quoted from post at 13:43:50 02/18/21) cranks and runs fine for 5 minutes. then stops and will not restart. gas drips out air intake side.

It was hard to get a good picture, so this one looks a little cock-eyed. The floats tilted up a bit from the needle. The lowest point, towards the needle, was still way off.(quoted from post at 16:24:25 02/21/21)
the 8n club wite up says to measure at the lowest point? if you do that this one is looks pretty close to your dill bit size to me? just looking at your photo
ood enough(quoted from post at 18:39:27 02/23/21)
no, it took 2 mins 20 -30 seconds.
but there is only a gallon or so in the tank (IF THAT MAKES ANY DIFFERENCE)

THANKS JMCZZZ
This is my first time with an 8N, so I don't know how important the float height is here. It's easy enough to set to 1/4". I bent the lever holding each float until the float was level and 1/4" across it's length.(quoted from post at 17:49:41 02/21/21)
i really need to learn how you did this. is that why my 8N cranks great runs then stops. the float adjustment is that critical? so the idea is to get the whole float level and 1/4 in space at all poits?
thanks Jim
