For a month ago i did a really good carb cleaning,And i also adjusted the float heights with a vernier caliper to the specs i the manual (22.4+-1.0mm),Since then the bike will not run good at high speed range.Feeling that the bike dont get enough fuel.Today i borrowed a adapter with a plastic tube, connected it to the the float bowls screw.Now it seems that the level is 4-6 mm under the spec in the manual that say: Fuel level 5.0+-1.0mm. I now wonder: If my carburetors are upside down and the bowls removed,Witch way should i bend the tounge of the float to get a higher fuel level???

Check the carb series to properly set the floatsComment

Far be it for me to question a site superstar, but; If you bend the tang down towards the float needle, that increases the float height, but doesn't that decrease the amount of fuel allowed in the bowl? I am pretty sure for my carbs bending the needle down decreases the fuel but bending it up increases the fuel.Originally posted by chef1366 View Post

ohhhh BUUUUURRRRRRRRNNNN!! hehehehehe just razzin ya Bill. Its easy, if you're just thinking about it, to get it backwards, because you have to think backwards to begin with, then invert it, then think backwards again.. so its then forwards...Originally posted by ryonker View PostFar be it for me to question a site superstar, but; If you bend the tang down towards the float needle, that increases the float height, but doesn't that decrease the amount of fuel allowed in the bowl?
