Google search.

From what I can see in the photos you posted, your float will require adjustment. Do a youtube search to see how its done.

Im reading frome the Clymer manual.. float level;

26.95-28.95, mm.
1,06-1,114, inch.
For every year!
And than it says, hold the carburator upside down, dont push the float down, just let it rest on the float needle.
Ofcourse there is a picture of this, that I cant provide.
In any case.. I thought that buying a Clymer manual should do everythng easyer.. its a thick book!

To that, frome 1995 and forward, in US and Europe I think.. execept GB.

Main jet says 145, needle jet says, X-7M, Pilot jet says 52,5mm.

Its this strange thing, both GB and Australia have other jets/needles?
Probably some exhauste regulation.. in my backhead I remember/or dreamed it, the later Aussie bikes dont rev that high?

Set the float height at 1-1/16 inch, but not more than 1-1/8 inch.

In the United States, the “ symbol is used to show inches. The ‘ symbol is used to show feet.

Gary get a great picture how to measure, but hold the carburator upside down.. and its the part that gasket lays on to be measured to.

And I did find the Clymer manual online for you to read;

You catch on fast. The carb was indeed rebuilt by the previous owner because the bike had been sitting for 8 years. I’m impressed at your eagle eye. However you can find out the story and video of the guy actually rebuilding the carb on the previous posts on this thread if you would like to find out more. Besides the carb float and a couple of stained brass, it looks a heck of a lot better than it used to! It used to have a lot of gunk and old gas. That isn’t the main diaphragm, it’s the smaller one. I tossed that picture in there just because I did a whole dump.

Previous owner did buy a rebuild kit and rebuilt it.

I’d buy a new carb and put it in but I have no idea what carb to use. It sucks.

Yeah that was the previous owner. That’s his YouTube channel. Basically he got the bike for free, he fixed it up to “good enough”, practiced on it, dropped it, after a few months of riding said “good enough” and I bought it..and he lied about the whole carb issue. My stupidity but hey, I’m trying to make it right..

A plug and play? Oooooo....I have got to find the person who’s done that!! Oooo let me know if you find them!!

And I messaged lancer.

I shall wait for his response so I can talk to him haha. Because jesus this is a headache. I actually have a bike that is smaller and more cramped. I could’ve cried when I saw how close the carb was to the frame, air box, everything. It was hell to change but I got it done. This I assume I might mess up putting back on but Atleast I have help. I have all the parts and such but getting it back into the perfect position...yikes. I took the breather off and an O-ring clamp popped off from...somewhere. And I’m not talking about the two at each end. There was a bloody third one!
