    Measuring float height in GS400 carbs?

    Hi-

    I'm trying to set my float height on the carbs on my '78 GS400. The manual I have tells me what height to set it to. But where are they measuring from ? From the top of the flange/lip that runs around the edge, or from the surface where the gasket sits? And if its the latter, do I remove the gasket to measure?

    Thanks for your advice!

    Measure from the gasket surface without the gasket in place.

          I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.
