difference in float height

[Guest]

hi guys
dose it matter if the float height differs from one to the other as long as there are within the specs, I,E 24.22mm +/-1mm on my gs100gt 1980, I have them within specs but not equal to each other

no, it wont really matter as long as they are in spec although if you can get them all exactly the same that would be better

I agree with Adrian...try to get them all the same as best you can. Reason being, that if one on one side is higher than the other, your only getting the full lifting pressure of one side of the set


Also you adding a bind to the hinge if one side is lifting more than the other one is.

Mark, it seems hard to get the float heights the same, but it might be a lot easier if you get a miniature set of Channel Lock style pliers that will hold the tab and bridge the pin tube so you can gently bend the tab without twisting it or affecting any other part of the float mount. After a few tries you will be an expert, it just takes a little practice, patience and the right tool.
