No, we're not looking at it wrong.. The guy had the "book" right there in front of him, yet he chose to come here instead of looking it up.. I and others view that as wanting to be spoon fed information instead of reading and studying.. If he didn't understand something about the instructions or couldn't get the results he expected, then by all means come here and ask for help.. I can't speak for the other "Square Heads" [using your words], but I just betcha Honky Hong and myself would be among the first to arrive with help..
Oh, and BTW --- It's not "float sag", "float hang"......... It's float DROP... It helps immensely to use proper terminology.. It's right there in the "book"..
@Obwonkonobe when you get your carburetor back together and working, come back here and I'll explain float drop to you..
