float setting ford 601

[SH IN MO]

can anyone tell me how to set the float on a ford 601 workmaster .THANKS

Turn the carb body upside down so the float is pressing down on the needle valve. With the gasket in place you should be able slip a 1/4" drill bit between the gasket and the closest portion of the float.

awhtx - is the float setting the same for the 660?

Be certain to set the often neglected fload drop as well unless you want it to flood upon restart after running out of gas or intentionally running the float bowl dry.

Sorry.

"[F]load" should be "float."

Yes, the float setting for all of the MS carbs used on Hundred and HundredOne series Fords is 1/4".
