Message: [QUOTE="Badbowtie73, post: 1359163, member: 108812"] I figured i would replace the float valve but the guy at the shop wouldnt even sell it to us, he said our valve was fine and we didnt need it. Probobly just wanted us to drop the bike off and pay him 70 an hour to look at it. As far as the fuel ratio goes its been at 32:1 to startup to 40:1 and back down to 32:1 again. The thing that i am having a hard time understanding is when i shut the petcock off the fuel level will run down and the bike idles perfect for 5 seconds so that is telling me that its a fuel level problem. I can think of anything else that will cause the level to be high when the float has been set and measured 4 times. Its at 14 mm to the casting line on the floats. You pull the plug and its very wet everytime. I dont have a leakdown tester on a compression gauge so it looks like it destined to go to the shop. [/QUOTE]
