copperjohn Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Looking in my shop manual for float adjustment on a Stromberg EE22 it states that in order to set the float at 5/8" from the top of the float bowl the car needs to be running with the top of the carburetor off. Has anyone heard of this or done it? Also it doesn't look like 5/8" is correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davenc Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 I've done this adjustment on my '36 EE22. With the screws out that hold the top cover in place, set the top cover back on and start the car. This just makes me feel better than having the bowl full of fuel sitting open when the car fires. I adjusted the float to yield the fuel level to the recommended 5/8 inch. My car runs well at this fuel level. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copperjohn Posted April 9, 2014 Author Share Posted April 9, 2014 Thanks for the reply David. It sounds a little scary. I'll try it that way and hope for no fires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
