Silly question but memory fails me since stripdown. The plastic float in my G3 Monobloc has the word ‘front’ on one side of it, so does this side go into the carb first or should it be visible when fitted, before the chamber cover is put on.
Or does it even matter??
TIA, Steve

Keep shiny side up.

Front facing you. From what I remember.

Re: Monobloc float orientation
“Front” should be facing you when you look into the float bowl and don’t forget the small spacer that fits on the float shaft after the float has been fitted.
Earlier floats would only fit one way and it is usually possible to see the witness mark of the float needle on both the copper and hybrid plastic/metal floats

Re: Monobloc float orientation
Thanks chaps. I did search for the answer as I’ve seen it here in the past but it seems I rarely use the correct search format and struggle to find what I need. Strangely, I did look for a witness mark but there seems to be one on both sides!
