    What a difference after changing float level

    I changed the floats from 23.4 to 22.4 and swapped out the intake boot orings today. WOW Ran the bike on choke for 10 seconds and pushed it in and the bike kept idling at 1000! Turned it off to put on the breather hose and started it again with no choke and it kept going! One other thing I did was torque the choke bolts down until the o-rings squashed right out as I was sort of thinking maybe the choke was never turning off (bad mileage but bood spark plug colour so I just playing around)

    I still have to sync the carbs and adjust the valves (exhaust are tight AGAIN.....) Pilots haven't been adjusted off of 2.5 either.

        Hmmm...sounds good.
        After adjusting mine to 24mm I'm no longer soggy or rich in the midrange. Boy it's good to see nice colored plugs.

        Never knew float level was so important till I came to this board.

          Oh it's sooooo nice to have gotten her to start properly. Went down this morning and without choke I hit the button. Once the starter was loading up with the compression stroke the bike started to purrr at 1000. oh yeah! Just like when I bought her 4 years ago.
