Fuel injection or carburetor float testing
I read a post on float issues here by Russ. But the post started way back in 2021.
Here is ho I handle the floats on the '57 to '65 fuel injections
.
I fill up a jar or can with gas and submerge the float in it for at least two days.
I do this outside. I use kitchen tongs to hold it down.
When a perfectly good looking float sinks it takes my breath away and I am happy I did not skip this step.
Yes I know I could use my old Bunn a matic coffee pot but I like my way.
Then I shake the float to see if it has gas in it.
One last thing. Test with gas only. Not water. Not paint thinner. Not carb cleaner.
Gail Parsons taught me this. John
