I used a gallon paint can stir stick under the float mounting bracket. They fit good and are soft wood. Slide one under there and push down the tang with your finger.

When it looks like this you should be very close. Good luck.

This is just a spare float i had in the storage room. To raise to fuel level i just need to push the tab towards the float and not raise it away from the float? By the way the tab on this float is ruined.

Okay I apologize but I'm confused now.  I've got one downstairs.  Give me a minute...

Full flowing fuel is the needle out all the way. The closer the tang to the float, the longer the needle=more fuel.

Shortening the needle puts the plunger inside the fuel supply hole= less fuel.

 

So, the closer the tang is to the float the longer the needle can extend.  More fuel.

The farther away the tang is, like in your photo above, the less the needle can extend.  Less fuel.

Thanks. I thought all i had to do is push it down with my finger. I really dont want to mess the ramp form.

Yes you do want to mess up this ramp form.  It should look like a speed bump not a ramp.  Are there speed bumps in Panama?

This is what you want

This is what you have

Thats what i meant! The tang needs to be pushed and not lifted away from the float.

Please refer to this photo. I need the level to raise in the chamber. Shall i just push the tang towards the float?

This is how i have the front  carburetor float right now.  I will bend it as you say. The fuel level is at shown in the picture without bending.

A little bending not much of a difference! You tell me?
