Hi, thanks for the reply,where are the floats located and how do i adjust them as i haven't got a clue.
in the second pic @ the bottom of the carb.
the thing that looks like a metal soy sauce bowl.
inside there are your floats. not wasabi.
they float on the gas inside.
when the bowl is filled, the float presses against little pin.
closing off the gas flow into the carb.
make sure the pin moves freely.
never put sashimi into your carb.
make sure the floats still float & not filled w/gas.
you might need to adjust the floats to press harder against the pin.
clean your pallet w/the pickled ginger.
