    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.

setting float level

Hello GS Land,

When I set the float level (on my '82 GS1100E) to 22mm as my manual says, to what part of the float do I measure to? With the carbs upside down, the highest part of the float is the square edge connecting to the metal arm; however, the center of the round portion of the float is very close. Also, the round portion of the float would hang lower than the square portion, when the carbs are in their proper position. Any help would be appreciated, because I am not able to get the proper color on my plugs.

Thanks,
Billy Miles
 
It's from the highest point on the float as the carbs are upside down, not the arm. But for the arm to be in that position I think your floats must have been damaged. Do they look bent?

on the cv carbs the floats have the square portion he is refering to at a higher point than the actual float, this is normal and we should still measure from the float section not the square arm section.
 
Darn! Missed my chance for an easy post. :wink:
(The above advice is correcto-mundo by the way)
