    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

In getting ready to set float heights I have noticed that there seems to be different points of measurement depending book. Clymer uses the flat top/bottom with measurements of 21.4 - 23.4 and the one of the GS pdf's uses the stepdown at 22.4mm. Originally when I took them apart they were set at 21.5 at the flat and 19.5 at the stepdown. I want to get back to factory what is the correct way and measure?
 
Not sure your model, but most are measured at the step.
The Suzuki books are usually correct.
 
It's at the step down. If the float needle spring isn't strong enough to support the weight of the float consider replacing the needle, or at least hold up the float and measure just when the float tang hits the spring needle.

Check my signature for the carb rebuild tutorial.

Good luck
 
Thanks, I have a tendancy to believe you gus over Clymer on some issues.
