Dellorto float height
Dellorto float height
I have the original dellortos with 10gram floats and cannot find info on the correct float height. I do recall reading years ago that the height was 20 something mm. It is not the 17.5 - 18.5 mm posted in many places that seems correct for the later floats as at this setting the level is too high and will leak.
Anyone know the correct number? I have one clear cap that allows me to set the height visually and I have previously set it so that the fuel level is about 4mm below the cap seal.
Any advice welcome.
Regards Craig

I have seen Snowbums article but his figures are the same as most published data. Unfortunately for mine that is not correct as at 18mm I have petrol flowing out the top. I do know that somewhere the very early figure of 20 something mm was published, I have read it many years ago but now cannot find it anywhere. The 18mm figure comes up in every article.
