The stock air box is still there. I think my float bowls are way off as there seems to be excess fuel going to the cylinders.

I wanna say mine should be set around 24mm but right now its around 36mm I think. I can only imagine how its gotten that far off, dreaded previous owner? Mukini 34mm bs34ss carns BTW.

Thanks and hopefully see ya out there!

36mm!? That's huge! I can't remember the exact spec. now but it's in my rebuild thread somewhere... if I remember I'll try to look in the manual again next time I'm in the garage... 24mm should be in the ball park though.
 
thats what I thought too. Srry bout the num num spelling in the OP, long day...

Anyway TYVM for the reply. I'll take a look at your rebuild thread and see if I can find it.

TYVM BassCliff seen that imfo and the chart as well but srry for my maybe mistaking but it doesnt show specs for a 81 gs450e only a ed. Guess I could assume they are all the same but....rather leave assumptions aside.

Also it says to measure float height with the floats just touching the needles using a caliper. Cant I just use a small steel MM ruler?

What does "Thank you for your indulgence" mean? Did I somehow err? Could, if so, you please explain my error?

Anyway TYVM for your time.
 
Hi,

The carb specs for the 450EX and 450ED are the same, model years '81 and '83. Yes you can use a ruler to measure float height. I usually thank all of the members here for indulging me in my modest attempts to diseminate information. Usually my information is accurate. ;)

There was no erring on you part. I'm just a geek sometimes. :p

Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff

And I like to thank *you* BassCliff for hosting all that gathered information in one easy to use and reference place :D

I've never seen your information be anything other than accurate either... :)

To measure the float height on mine I found a ruler too awkward and instead I marked the measurements on a small piece of cardboard and used that instead.

Don't forget to measure without the gasket...
