With the air horn inverted and the gasket in place, position the float level gauge over the float so that it rests against the pump side of the power piston shaft, with the outer gauge leg in line with the center of the float. Do not compress spring in needle valve but allow the float to hang freely.
Bend the float arm until the float just touches the bottom of the gauge, (use Bending Tool BT-69).

The float drop is correct when the distance from the air horn gasket to the bottom of the float is 1-29/32", with the air horn held upright.
Bend the float tang to adjust; toward needle seat to lessen drop and away from seat to increase drop.
