I started to look into the reason my vacuum line off the bottom of the front carb has fuel in it. I took off the float bowl and it was clean and I see it has Grosse inlet valves, I think.Thanks DPO. These are the Zenith-Stromberg CD 175's.
They have a little round ball that actually blocks the inlet.
As these might be different in height compared to stock, this could cause the wrong float height. Reading the Haynes manual on cards it wasn't clear to me where to measure from. I would assume that one would measure from the edge of the body where the float bowl seals to what would be the highest point of the float itself when the carb is held vertically upside down, thus placing the fuel inlet valve closed. The book states that this is approximately .74 inches to .7 something. have to look again for the exact value
Has anyone else adjusted these and is this sound about right?
