    Symtoms of float height being too high?

    What are the symtoms of the floats filling too high? Mine seemed to be about 3-4mm too high, filling the bowls more than they should.

    My bike was running so-so at idle and low RPM, but wouldn't go above 4000 rpm without stumbling off and wanting to stall

    float heights set too high will cause the bike to run very rich, which is a cause of the symptoms you are having

    Just remember, an opinion without 3.14 is just an onion!

      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.
