Ok, i've been working on this idea for a few weeks as there seems to be a lot of people recently asking about the fuel height adapter for the float bowls.
Also, i dunno about you but isn't it a PITA if you want to drain your carbs (for whatever reason) and you have to find a tray of some sort to lay under them to catch the draining fuel?
Well, these adapters not only let you drain the fuel easily and with no fuel dribbling all over your freshly painted motor, but also you can quickly check your float bowl fuel level heights if you are having any sort of carb issues........
Same principle as a brake bleed nipple (screw). Attach a length of clear pipe and crack open the bleed screw. lift the pipe up to check float bowl level or drop it down to a waiting bucket to drain them.
This is the first prototype but i think they look good and work well. they do stick out a little bit but it will be easy enough to make them a bit shorter (not by much though).
You could put a small rubber cap on them, same as brake bleed nipples to keep the crap out and prevent any unwanted dribbles, should they occur.
NOW THE DOWNSIDE!!!!!!
After much messing about and trial and error, the ONLY way i could get this to work is to drill out the drain hole in the bowl to a larger size, 8mm.
This means having to modify your float bowls.......
Any thoughts, arguments, improvements, criticism welcome (within reason)
