This is the procedure to set the FLOAT
HEIGHT to 14 mm.
This is not setting the FUEL HEIGHT (as mentioned in
the manual) which should be correct when
the FLOAT HEIGHT is set to 14mm
You need to make a gauge like this out of cardboard
or an old credit card, the part that sits over the floats
needs to be 14mm
|
 |
If overhauling your carbs you need to
fit your new seals/needles etc and then refit the bowl
like this to ensure the float is
held securely, the jet holder can be fitted or not,
it doesn't matter........ |
 |
You need to invert the carbs and have
them sitting at an angle like this

 |
ensure the float is resting on the needle
like this, but not compressing it. |
 |
Not like this!!!!!!! |
 |
You can now use your gauge to set the
height that the float sits above the gasket face of
the carb, the highest float should just touch your gauge
like this.
You have to bend the small "tang" that depresses
the centre pin of the float needle to achieve
this.

Reassemble the carbs and you're done, the FUEL height
should now be correct. |
