Float setting

[CLM66]

I think maybe the float setting is the problem I'm having but don't know how to adjust without a guage, does someone know another way of checking, the reason I think this it will only run with choke out, , thanks in advance

Ok sorry I'll think I'll just figure it out for myself.

Use a drill bit the diameter of the clearance called for in the instructions. That works better than measuring with a gauge to me.

Is the float not letting enough gas in? Most time when you run with chock out
carburetor has trash or dirt and stopped up. Have you cleaned it?

Yes sir I have gone through it twice, I did adjust the float, which I guess it worked, don't have to have choke out now, still backfires a little bit when I give it full throttle while driving down my little road, but still waiting on new wires plugs and d cap and such, hopefully it just needs a little more tuning to get back like it was, I have been using a little sea foam to help maybe clean out everything some, it may have been a little trash in it somewhere I could not detect, at least I'm making a little progress, thanks for of the replys

Have you checked timing if it's back firing?

I don't have a timing light, just trying to set it by ear. Is there a better way? Without the heat shield by the fuel bowl gas was getting way to hot, looked like it gas was boiling in fuel bowl, my parts came in late yesterday, so will change out plugs points and wires today reinstall heat shield and try again . I will asked around and see if I can round up timing light, and see what happens, thanks for your input.
