<VV> 63' 102/PG idle (update)

[Harry Yarnell]

I have seen where the float will STICK to the bottom of the bowl if
improperly adjusted from long term storage, and the bowl dries out. Upon
starting the carb floods and pukes all over the engine. This on a Coupe de
Ville, not corvair.

BTW, the float drop level is so the float does not rub the bottom of the 
bowl and cause a hole in the float.

That's my opinion, as I have never read it in print.

Of course, in operation the gasoline level should never go dry and let 
the float touch the bottom, so it's just important for the time the car 
sits unused?
