    There are 2 tabs..................

    The tab that acts as the float stop which is the one i can see in your last pic.

    The second tab is the one that makes contact with the float needle. So be more specific in which "tab" your asking about. the tab i was tlking about being bent way too much is the tab that contacts the needle...which is use for adjusting the float heights.

    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.

      dude...your done with a broke float post...simple as that..your done. Maybe send Chef or one of the other with lots of CV parts and bodies a PM and see if they have a body.

        Yes i understand we are talking about the tab that bends to adjust float hight. Im sorry, i was showing that the actual metal connectiong to the round plastic, is fairly straight and in line with the hige. It does not look tampered with or bent. The only adjustment i could see, that would require bending the float adjusting tab back into place, would be if the needle itself were taller, thus needing to bend that tab back up to more parallel with the flat metal coming off the hinge. Does that make sense? Do you have any old float needles for a bs32 that you could measure for me?

          One easy way to test things out on the bench before final assembly is to connect a line to the fuel inlet, position the carbs in their upright position and blow into the line. You should have flow through the fuel line. then invert the carbs so they're upside down and blow through the line again. There should be no flow with the weight of the floats on the seats.

            How would a broken tab on one carb, that still holds the float rod, cause all 4 carbs to leak?

                  At this point it doesnt matter if they leaked before or not. Now you have a useless carb body so what difference does anything else matter now??? If you can get another carb body to replace the one with the broken post get it and send me the rack. I will fix them for free as its just easier than playing tag all day. i would say just send me what you have now except i dont have any CV bodies laying around.

                      Dont touch them...send them as they are. I will dip them and rebuild them for free. You can get the stuff and have it sent directly to me. I will PM you the info youll need.

                        It wont cause a problem with the others except possibly the adjacent carb. Might cause fuel to flow through that carb's air vent and into the other. A broken stud body must be replaced. That carb will NEVER be right in that condition. If you have another set of carbs I would replace that body with one from the other set.

                            Darnitttttt........... it is.... but how am i supposed to learn... maybe a better learning set.. these ones have deff. Been tampered with. They have 132.5 main jets and a measurement of 180 on the air jet screw? I havent seen this number in any manual or on bassclifs site... these could just be all Frankensteined..
