setting float height?

[Nessism]

It's the variance of correct float adjustment. 22.4 is perfect but add .88 is ok and under .04 is ok. Same as spark plug gap. .024 to .028 will work.

By the way this number is with the float gasket off. Minus 1mm if the gasket is installed.

Just to clarify...the measurement 22.4 +/- 1.0 mm is metric. Acceptable range is 23.4 - 21.4 mm.

0.88 +/- 0.04 inch is english units. Acceptable range is 0.92 - 0.84 inch.

These come in handy. http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...emnumber=47257

Really nice quality for the money. Unfortunately, Harbor Freight jacks up the price on-line for some reason ($36 on-line but commonly available for $16 in-store since they put them on sale all the time).

Does anyone have a illustration of how to set the float hight. I'm more of a picture guy then a word guy. Also does anyone know what tool to measure with and what the specs are for a 1982 gs850g are?

Mr. SDk,

Have a look in the carb spec sticky thread at the top of this Tech section. You'll find all the numbers in there. Look at post #19 in this thread for the proper measurement tool.

If I may borrow from Mr. Steve...





Thanks for the pictures Mr. Steve!

Thank you for your indulgence,
