levels

1998 probably has been abused. I'm sure you may have read other threads about it recently. Just got carbs shotgunned and straightened out and engine was running well. Someone asked about hot and cold oil levels in the sight glass. when cold and on the side stand, oil is visible halfway up the...

I've noticed that setting my dry float with the 1.125" gap does not result in a 17mm wet float level. Any reason this would happen other than a bad caliper? I assume I should adjust based on wet float measurements rather than dry?

Yamaha wants around $40 for something similar to this for checking float adjustment wet levels. I used a piece of clear tubing, 1/4" id, .430" od (??) and 4 3/8" long. I don't understand the .430" od but it doesn't matter. I made a tick mark on either side of the tubing with a razor blade...
