Adjust the float height by gently bending the float arm so it sits at the correct level when closed, typically around 1/4 inch below the carburetor body when inverted. Reassemble the carburetor and test the engine to ensure proper fuel delivery.
The adjustment screw on the bottom of a Tecumseh carburetor bowl is typically used to regulate the fuel flow into the carburetor, affecting the air-fuel mixture. Turning the screw clockwise generally decreases fuel flow, leading to a leaner mixture, while turning it counterclockwise increases fuel flow for a richer mixture. Proper adjustment is crucial for optimal engine performance, starting, and idle stability. Always refer to the specific engine manual for the correct settings and procedures.
