    Carb float bowl question....

    how far can a person adjust the float bowls on 32mm carbs? I installed a jet kit and now am faced with 2 to 3000 rpm stumbling when hot. I lowered the float bowls which has helped it a lot but still could use some more adjusting. I have already lowered them by 2mm just not sure if I can go anymore.

    Any help is appreciated
    Thanks

    Floats should be set at 22.5mm +/- 1mm ? Check the spects. You are trying to mask the actual problem. What do the plugs look like ??

      I set mine at the lower edge of the tolerance given. No way should you be -2.0mm.

        I get your reaction, I thought the same thing about the float bowls but went to this website http://www.factorypro.com/tech_tunin...m_engines.html and found there that sometimes resetting your float richens or leans your 2-3000rpm range. I have recently however pondered the thought that I might be too lean now as I opened up my pipe a little more with a larger baffle. I will reset the floats to stock then try it.
