Ok, I've just decided to order a new float needle and seat and quit messing with the old one. One question I have though is, and I have looked at the online manual, but when I adjust the float level, should I measure the distance from inside where the gasket sits with the gasket removed or with it in place? The reason I ask is because the gasket is stuck on the side I need to measure from really good but its in perfect shape so I didn't want to peel it off if I didn't have to.
