Blue Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Should the pin stick out further than this (1mm)? Thanks Quote Link to comment
Blue Posted July 4, 2017 Author Share Posted July 4, 2017 I can't seem to bend the tab enough to get a lower float height Quote Link to comment
Oilyspanner Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 You need to press down on the back of the plastic assembly (like it would with bowl fitted) to get an accurate measurement - it'll alter the gap for the better. If the spring loaded pin can be pressed in and it springs back out, it should be okay. Quote Link to comment
Blue Posted July 4, 2017 Author Share Posted July 4, 2017 Ok so it's different from setting 36's Quote Link to comment

Blue Posted July 4, 2017 Author Share Posted July 4, 2017 Yeah it will only fully seat if I press on it Quote Link to comment
Captain Chaos Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 if you have a spare float bowl, modify (cut) it so that you can see/measure the float height with it installed 1 Quote Link to comment
Uitenhage Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Forgive me for barging in, but doesn't that carb body look cracked in the centre?? Quote Link to comment

Blue Posted July 7, 2017 Author Share Posted July 7, 2017 I decided to check how much petrol is in each bowl, only able to get to 1 & 4, surprisingly no.1 had 11ml & no.4 had 37ml! Any idea what should be in there? Quote Link to comment
richyrich Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 What do the float valve seats look like, Are their O rings good ? Quote Link to comment
Blue Posted July 8, 2017 Author Share Posted July 8, 2017 I renewed the o rings, float valve seats? Where am I looking? Quote Link to comment
teltwosheds Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 Tip the carbs upside-down where the valve point goes is the seat Quote Link to comment
richyrich Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 They are pairs right? Not mixed up old needles new seats, eg when changing O rings did the whole seat Get changed. do the needles look long enough to be able to seal. Dont ask how i know this might be a problem Quote Link to comment
