Just got my tank back from the painter. Put it on, new petcock, fuel line and in line filter. Gas flow freely from the petcock, but when i put fuel line to carb....no fuel flow.

After an hour of scratching my head i removed the float bowl and turned on the gas....gas started flowing thru carb. Is it possible floats were installed upside down? I think they were....bigger part of float is to bottom of carb.

If so when i turn them right side up do i need to reset float level or will that still be ok?

I had the carb professionally cleaned and rebuilt...not happy it was sent back to me like this.

Any input is appreciated.

If it was upside down, I'm surprised the float bowl was able to be bolted up and sealed........

When in doubt, check the float height again.
