45 degrees! I hope you never get any ice or snow on it and try to back into the garage!!

I've done quite a few 2JET carbs over the years and although I'm not able to test them on an engine I do use an electric pump to fill the bowl and make sure the N/S holds and there aren't any leaks. I did some "tilt" testing with them and you'd be surprised at how easily they start leaking from the boosters when tilted backwards.

I was perplexed by this the first time I tried it, and even took the carb apart to check the float height and it was right on the money.......FWIW......
