I need to know what the float setting is on a 48 B, gas model. My service manual does not cover this and I do not know why. Do you turn the bowl upside down when measuring?

I always set it where it is perpendicular to the top of the bowl when it is holding the needle shut. This is usually about 3/8" to 1/2" from the top. You have about 1/2" of travel to play with. If it ever floods easily then lower the float setting a little. Also, try your best to find and use an all metal needle and not one with a rubber tip as these are prone to sticking even when new.
This goes for all 1 barell horizontal M.S. carbs.
Good Luck...

With the float raised, the setting I believe is 3/8" from the top of the bowl
