Hi!
Im getting close to firing up my bike for the first time after some restoration work (project thread), and did the clear tube check yesterday on the carb. 2 years ago I cleaned the carb good and put in new keyster kits. I never did the clear tube test though.
Well, the test indicated quite good level in 3 bowls (-1 mm, -2 mm and -3 mm below bowl edge) but one sat at +10 mm! I drained the carb and checked the static height measurement which showed 18,9 mm (18,6 is stated in manual), as I understand, a bigger measurement will give a lower level here so if anything, this bowl would be low?
How do I proceed from here? I guess the float itself can be bad or the float needle is not sealing properly? Also, the carb has been sitting for almost 1 year, could it have getting stuck so maybe I should fill it up again and do another try?
I also read somewhere that the floats can get stuck in fully open because they are allowed to travel to much, so reducing that with the upper tang can also help?
Another question, I will attempt to adjust the carb bowl that was sitting at -1 mm and getting it closer to -3 mm which is the reference, how much would that be on the float heigh? anyone has a feeling of that? divide by 10-15 something?
thanks in advance!
