Thank you. The bike was on a lift and the carb was level. I took the reading from the front. I believe if I ran the level to 1mm below the lower rear mating surface there would be almost no gas in the float bowl. I am confused as you suggested as I recall in a previous post that the level should be 1mm below the mating surface, and in your latest post you indicate .1 above? Is that .1mm? as that would be difficult to measure with any accuaracy with a clear tube and only 2 hands.

I am confused as I recall the mating surface on my carb is lower on the back than the front and if I use the back as a reference won't I be running out of gas???? I would like to get this right as I have been in to this many times and seem to be getting no where except drenched in fuel.

Excerpt from the Tech Article on Adjsuting the Float Level.
Note from Cal /LtoR
On the float level....there are two mating surfaces, a "front (air cleaner side), and a back (intake side)...the back is 11MMs higher than the front. I had set my level using the front mating surface as a reference...since then I have had a problem of "running out of gas" if I do a full throttle run through the gears, at about 85 in fourth the bike would "stutter", back of on the throttle for a few secs and away you could go. Thanks to Wanderndude for pointing out that the mating surface to use is the back mating surface....if you look in the manual, I forget the page, it does appear to be the back mating surface they are referencing but no where in print (unless I skipped over it) does it make this statement.
