I think my carb is rotated at proper angle (there is a dot marking on the engine intake and also one on the carb - are those the markings for horizontal alignment?), and also visually it is at right position. Then how come I can tilt more to one side - is it because my overflow tube is exiting to the left from the float bowl?
Should it be evened out?
Many thanks in advance for kind advice.
On my 300 I had what I considered a problem with fuel mileage, my Beta dribbled out the overflow when on the kickstand and on less than level ground. When I adjusted my jetting for my area I lowered my float a smidgen, not very accurate but it made all the difference in mileage along with the jetting. I think if you search here you will find most have done that, plus there are pictures of a loop set-up for the overflow tube. It has also been brought up that it can't make a difference in mileage; I agree it does not in fuel burned but I believe a lot of fuel was sent to the ground which affected my miles per gallon.
