This is incorrect. It is NOT reverse (left-handed) threads. It is right-hand threaded. It is true that the nut turns the needle and seat assemble and the slotted screw is the "jam-nut" or locking device. Turning the nut clockwise lowers the needle and seat. That pushes the float, and subsequent fuel level, down. Don't keep running the car with the bowl overfilled. Loosen the screw and turn the nut a few revolutions clockwise. Now start the car, remove the sight plug and hopefully bring the fuel level UP to where it needs to be. Just put a rag under the sight plug hole in case it still spills some out.
