    need help!!!

    I've gone through bikecliffs website and I'm looking for an easier way to set the floats on my bs32 carbs or some advice on setting them. Also if anyone is near the Rochester,MN area that has a carb synchronizer that I could use I would be most grateful.

    as far as I am aware there are two ways to set them
    Check and adjust with the carbs off the bike using a vernier caliper or using the method whereby you have a clear tube that connects to the drains in the float bowls so you can see where the levels are.

        As I understand, setting the float height "dry" with calipers brings them close to correct, but then you use the clear tube to determine whether the fuel height in the bowl is correct with the bike running on the center stand. The important metric is the fuel height, not the float height.

          Ok I was just looking at that on bikecilffs site and in my Clymer I'm looking forward to finishing them tomorrow they look like new but no worries I am being very thorough on making them very clean especially the passages.

              Personally I have never had a problem using the vernier caliper method.
