BING 54 Carburetor Setting Float Fuel Level

The simplest and easiest way to check your float level is to:

  1. Remove your Bing 54 carb from your aircraft, with the top plate removed and your float bowl off.
  2. Turn the carburator upside down.
  3. Place the carb on a flat level surface.
  4. Look at the two float arms they should be level wit each other.
  5. They should be level with the bottom of the base of the carburetor.
If the arms are not level with each other, first level them with each other then level them by bending the float arm Shown as  A where the needle clips on,  until they are both LEVEL  with each other and with the base of the carb.
