Interesting tip from a Techumseh Service Manual for dealing with a stuck float.

[echris 1,425]

We've all had one, and rap the bowl with a screwdriver handle or whatever hoping it works.

I came across this tip in the Techumseh Service Manual for my snowblower and I'm sure it would work with any float bowl that has the detent for the float hinge.
It's a real simple tip. The detent in the bowl will bump the float, possibly fixing the stuck condition.
