The 5 holes on the universal unit appear to be symetrical but they are not,they are off slightly. You must turn the unit until all 5 holes line up perfectly. They will only line up perfectly in the exact position.keep rotating it till you get it exact,then screw it down.

No,the reason it will only line up perfectly one way is so the float will be pointed the right way.And remember,the holes are only off just a small amount,turn it till the alignment is exactly perfect.

If not then do what I did. Call up Lavorsi and have them make you one that does not have the float on it. Never have to worry about it ever again. Make sure you get the measurements perfect however on those.
