#3979 draco (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 92 Re:Change Float Bowl Needle Valve 6 Years, 5 Months ago   I can dig it So is the carb on the bike and the bike on the kickstand reading the float level? I'll also dabble in chapter 6. I hope not to be back asking questions on this thread again. I've waited long enough for the mud to settle LOL...   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #3980 Odo (User) Moderator Posts: 56 Re:Change Float Bowl Needle Valve 6 Years, 5 Months ago   D, PLEASE, ask all the questions you want ! ! You're not bothering anyone on trying to give/get, an answer. REALLY! ! The bike needs to 'sit' as totally 'level' as possible to get a good reading, (with the carb on the bike). Level is good , , , leaning is bad, (when checking the float level). Please don't ever think that your questions are bothersome. The questions you ask, 'maybe', the questions others 'wished' they asked, .

I installed the 2.5 float needle assembly. Set the float level between 1mm-2mm "read at the back side of the float bowl" Took out the inline screen. Shortened the fuel line so it has a nice straight shot to the carb. AND..... She starves for fuel at high cruise. Any ideas?

Route the fuel line under not over the backbone.

I will raise the float level. Should I go flush with the mounting surface or higher?   Logged     Last Edit: 2008/05/24 13:19 By ROTOPILOT.   The administrator has disabled public write access. #88108 DocShadow (Admin) Hmmmm .... send beer Admin Posts: 17615 Re:Change Float Bowl Needle Valve 4 Years ago   A little dab will do ya. I don't know how much you will need. I know it's a pain but go 2 mm at a time. It was running good with the fuel pump ... right.

I thought the tank was already vented..... I guess I should never assume. I know I saw a post somewhere on venting the cap. I'll look for it.

Matter of fact, I put the pump back on just to see if it would still cut out, and it ran fine.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access.
