    Float Heights

    Hey guys,
    I am doing some carb work on my 78 gs750. I was wondering if anyone knows what the standard float height is? I had some oil in the crankcase and am trying to iron out the problems. Where is this measurement taken from?
    Thanks

    Oil in the crankcase. Thats good. I suspect you meant gas in the crank case right? What carbs do you have?

          WHAT POINTS ARE YOU MEASURING FROM TO GET THE HEIGHT? IS THIS THE STOCK DISTANCE?

            MY BOOK HAS 23-25MM, MEASURE BETWEEN TOP OF FLOAT AND GASKET SURFACE, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE GASKET NOT ON.....SO YOUR BIKE IS STOCK SETUP?

                  I have a 79 750E. float height is 24-25 mm. The height is measured with the carb upside down, the float bowl off and the measurement is from the surface the gasket would be sitting on to the top surface of the float. The weight of the float will be holding the needle valve closed.
