Float level on Weber DMTL

Post by Ian Carvell »

Does anyone know how to set the float level on a Weber DMTL.

I was racing at Mallory this weekend and I had a problem with fuel starvation in Gerrards (long left hand corner) despite having half a tank of fuel to meet the weight limit.

I took the carb to bits and raised to fuel level in the carb, dont know how much, just gave it a tweek and hoped for the best.....remarkably it solved the problem, but I think it is a little high because at tick over it sounds(and smells) as rich as hell.

I would like to set it correctly then go testing again to make sure it is ok....
