I am forgetting the float height.
According the the factory parts fiche, the air screw should be 1 and 3/8 turn out, 1 and 1/2 turn out or 1 and 3/4 turn out depending on application.
Mine are extremely touchy! And difficult to reach.
I have the Motion Pro tool and it does not work for these. The screws are in too deep.
I am at 1 and a half turns out.

Probably. More than likely those are a set of universal application carbs.Originally posted by Agemax View Post
On the various 34CV carbs that I have mixed parts on, I prefer to use the side mounted choke on the carbs.
Otherwise you have to have/mount the correct cable and/or switchgear to match the carbs.
On my Goldy project, the choke cable originally went through the steering stem.
I changed the front forks to '83 1100E ones that did not allow for the cable to go through the center using the handlebar cover and made a mount on the side of the speedometer.
It was either that or change the left switchgear to the 1100E one with the choke under the switch, that cable and the choke linkage from those carbs.
What are you using those carbs on? The GS1000?

I used some parts of the 34CV O-ring kits from Robert Barr to rebuild mine.
The tube that goes over the choke emulsion tube has tiny O-rings that need to be replaced and the fuel seat O-rings were toast as well.
The intake manifolds use his 40mm O-rings also.
