Why The Float Matters

Two float bowls. Same job, different stakes. On a muscle car carb, get the float wrong and it runs rich, fouls a plug, maybe floods on a hot restart. Annoying. On a boat, get it wrong and fuel spills into a bilge that doesn't ventilate itself. That's not annoying, that's a fire. Same principle, same three minutes with a gauge, completely different consequences if you skip it. That's why we made two shirts about the same idea instead of one. Some knowledge is universal. Some of it just matters more depending on where you're standing when you ignore it.
