Holley float level question....

Due to the "compromising" position that the level port is on the holley(dribbles right down onto the exhaust manifold), I thought I'd ask a question to speed up the adjustment process, and minimize the amount of gas I spill....

I know where the adjustment nut it, and I know that you have to loosen the screw on top of it first... My question is which way do you turn the screw to raise/lower the float levels?

The screw is a like a lock nut. You have to turn the nut to raise or lower the bowl. Just put a rag underneath untill you find which way lowers etc... I believe when you screw nut down it raises bowl.

Tighten the nut clockwise and you will lower the level of fuel in the bowl. Counter clockwise and you will raise the level of fuel. Very simple.
