Not Sure About The Carb Float Level And Drop

Hey all my jeeps a 1971 cj5 withe the 225 in it the carb is a rochester 2g does any one know the float level and drop for a brass float i also live at 5500 feet and drive it over 10,000 feet

 

I'm not sure of the specifications but you need to drop it a little bit for the elevation.

 

I believe the manual I got from Mike’s carbs said 1 7/8” from the bottom of the gasket to the bottom of the float at the toe end.
I will edit to correct if that’s not accurate. I’ll check next time I’m out there with the manual.
Whatever the manual said, I did and have never run better.

 

Here’s the specs from mikes carburetors.

 

Here are the instructions in my TSM for setting the float

 

Here are the images from mikes carburetors instructions that boopiejones referenced above.

 

My Manuel says 1 5/32 but then after skiming through it said 15/32 so Is it possible the 15/32 is from the gasket to the seem in the middle and the 1 5/32 is gasket to the bottom of the float

 

Here’s the image my manual shows referencing the 1-15/32

 

After pulling a tape measure out and putting the seam at 15/32 the bottom of the float was basicly 1 5/32 so uh my next question guys and sorry for the questions is how much should I drop my float. Like I said I live at 5500 feet and my jeep goes up to 10,000 plus and the roads are not dirt mostly steep and big inclines full of boulders I was thinking 17/32 any suggestions

 

I doubt you need to drop your float. The 2g is pretty hardy for off-road and it takes a lot to get it to puke out into the venturi's.
