your float is in the carb.take off the top of your carb. and get a guage and hold down your needle valve and put the guage across the carb. and the top of the float and adjust the float,by bending the float arms.you will have to get a float guage.also you can run in both adjusting screws under the carb,until they both seat and then run both of them out about 2 to 3 turns until the motor sets and runs smooth.hope i did some help to you.

It's not that simple....and could be a real nightmare if you take it apart.
Try setting both the idle mixture screws at 1 1\2 turns out from seated.
Up to two turns....if needed

Easy, replace it with a Holley then you will have no more adjustments ever!
