cv36 float adjustment

[OLDENUFF]

My Suzuki shop manual appears to show to take the measurement at the highest point on the float near the pivot and nessism's tutorial shows measurement taken down on the step. Which is correct? Is 21.4 mm correct?

If memory serves me right the 1150 is 20.4-22.4mm
I do it from the step down and not the hinge

Can you post up a photo of the FSM showing the float measuring method? I've never seen the factory 1150 manual.

Hi,

I'm pretty sure it's the same for all the CV carbs:








Thank you for your indulgence,
