Message: [QUOTE="MX175, post: 523358, member: 34159"] I've done this too. I used a stand or small Dremel D-Vise to hold the carb and just used a length of fuel line (about 2 feet) and a funnel as a source of fuel. I think I used about a pint and reused it for testing several times. The time consuming part was screwing and unscrewing the float bowl. I tried using rubberbands, but the gas ate through them real quick. I'd suggest trying something like a C-clamp, but you have to be careful and get the bowl seated correctly and not overtighten the clamp. Moving the tang is very touchy. It seemed like when I could tell that I moved the tang, it was too much. when I pressed on it, but couldn't tell if I changed its position, that was about right. I was at about .01" when I started and I got it to .09" and decided that was close enough. Yes, it is important to use gasoline, because the density of the fuel will affect the position of the float. If you were to use water, because it is denser, I think you would get a lower than true fluid level. Yes, be very careful with gasoline. Not only flames, but sparks can set it off. Let us know how you make out. --No, I don't want to hear about your necking techniques.... Mark '80 KDX175 '81 XS850 "85 KDX200 [/QUOTE]
