Post by JohnBoy on 04/15/13 at 18:29:30

would any of you have photos or photo links of carb float 'installed' and tips on adjusting the float?

I sure dont, BUT, I DO remember that first time, with the dial caliper, trying to hold the thig Juuuust so & measure it..

IF you get some clear tubing & put it on the carb bowl drain & hold it up next to the carb, it will show you your fuel level in the bowl,

Remember, theres a tiny, spring loaded part on the rubber tipped valve the floats are attached to.

Youve gotta hold the carb oriented as if its on the bike, sight thru where that tab & valve come together & work the float & see when that spring loaded section just starts to get pressure on it, thats when the valve closes.
If you adjust that tab, be aware its mounted in plastic. I held mine with pliers on the crossbar between the floats, then tweaked the tab a mite.

Here is a link to the "Jets R Us" site that has some text and photos. Unfortunately they don't give you a detailed shot of the little tab you need to carefully bend.
