If you refer to the picture above, do i mesure the float boal level using the mesure A or mesure B

Maybe it is hard to see the lines on the right side of the float boals.... there is a plastic border on each side of the boal that i dont know if i should condider them while taking the mesurement... they are about 2mm thick.

thanks.
 
You measure at the highest point across the float. Make sure that the needle valve spring is NOT compressed when taking this measurement. The needle valve needs to be seated without compressing the spring.



Hold carbs at angle to keep needle valve spring from compressing.

This shows the spring compressed--not good for measuring float height.

Same here- not good

Tilt carbs at angle, i use a towell to prop them. Take measurement now!

See the 4 pilot circuit holes? These need to be clear for low rpm cruising. Also closer to you is the air screw sticking into the bore. this needs to be clean, clean, clean

Take your time! Triple check the float adjustments! Clean those pilot circuits with carb cleaner and compressed air. Take extra care not to get carb cleaner on your vacuum slide rubbers! once they are swelled be prepared to dish out a few huns :blackeye:
