Jabiriu 2200, serial # 988, solid lifters, Bing 40mm carb, no tuning kit, main jet 255, needle jet 276. Does anyone know how much the WOT EGT's would go down by raising the float 1/32"? Then I can lower the needle to lean cruise.

I've read of guys who have adjusted the float height, but Bing says not to. Are you sure you have a "lowerable needle"? Mine is not, having only one groove for the snap ring.
