Message: [QUOTE="JKoepsell, post: 1173940, member: 76475"] I just recently rebuilt my bottom end and decided to set float a bit leaner since it had been fouling plugs every once in a while. I checked the manual and it said stock setting was 9.5mm. I took off the float bowl and checked and the level was around 4mm. I do not think the owner before me ever touched it and I am sure I havn't either. I bent the tang A LOT to get it to 9.5mm and it seemed too much but I thought I would give it a try. My bike wouldn't even start. I checked the float bowl and there wasn't a drop of gas in there.... SO.... This is how I was measuring the float... Turn the carb upside down so that the float valve is completly closed but the pin is not being compressed at all. Then measure the highest point of the float to "gasket surface".... Does anyone know what I was doing wrong? -Jimmy [/QUOTE]
