Your carburetor SHOULD have the shorter valve (25-33s) which had been discontinued for probably 30 years until we started making them. The float tab should be bent almost straight down, and then back almost parallel to the main arm, forming a modified "L". Lots of enterprising "mechanics" just tried to make something work, rather than doing it correctly.
Regards. Jon.

Hello Jon,
I received the carb kit 1574 and began replacing parts. One thing I notice is the new float valve is about 0.10" shorter than the original.
(See attached Pic. The original valve has an additional shoulder that extends the length by 0.10". )
That seems like a big adjustment on the float tab with the shorter valve. You can see the float tab is still in the factory location.
Can you verify that I have the correct length float valve in my packet. Carb is a Carter YF-735SA
Thanks for assistance.
