OK I looked at all the contacts and coils they all look good. But done have any filer gauges here with me right now to check gap but I got the carb kit in and it seems like float sticking once I put bowl back on but if I take it off float works fine

I went by the picture on the carb kit instructions but didn't think about that I'll swap it over and see thanks

Does the side with the indentions on the float face the bowl or the carb itself

indention faces down towards the bowl....the tab on the float arm faces up towards the carb body
