      It's VERY common to find that the float heights have been measured incorrectly on these carbs. So, uh, make sure you have this right.



      Also, Z1 is a great vendor and all, but I've never seen any parts from a carb kit that were worth a damn except maybe the float bowl gaskets.

      If you still have the original jets, you're far better off cleaning and using them, or getting OEM jets if they're too far gone. Guess how I learned this...

        Yes I/we measured to the step not the top. it was 20.5 mm. Been doing a lot of reading of posts and from this site and bikecliff. I just maybe over thinking a lot of this but don't want to have to take it apart again just because and find something I should have done and didn't do. Looking to find fittings to check fuel height before I put it all back together.
