Model 8223 Lawn Boy mower will start, but will not keep running. Carb. has been cleaned several times. I suspect the float is set too high. Q. How do I set the float lower?

Remove float bowl and gasket. Invert carburetor. With float arm resting on float valve needle, adjust float by bending arm with needle nose pliers so the top of the float is 15/32" above the top of the carburetor body.
