In the process of tuning my muscle kit. I Want to start out from square one,so the first step was to check and set the floats. Took the carbs apart and set the dry float height as per the sticky in the carb section, shooting for 17mm wet height, then installed the rest of the muscle kit. I put about 40 miles on it. checked the plugs and 2 of them where white as could be, one was slightly lean and one was slightly rich. They were all set the same on the bench. I thought It must have been a screw up somehow, so I pulled the carbs, and reset the heights. Six times later, all four carbs are reading 16-17 MM wet. Each carb is internally a different float height to achieve the 17 mm wet level. http://www.vmaxforum.net/showthread.php?t=1427&page=3post 22, tried to do ragingmans method of measuring down from the jet block to the top of the float,post 22. His measured ruffly 16 mm down to the float. The last one of the carbs I measured was 11 mm down, and that gave me the 17 mm wet level :ummm: I'm checking the wet level as per sticky, with a clear tube and the mark on the side of the carb. Is there something else in the carbs that could be screwing with me, and causing these differences. I'm not even close to the measurements suggested in the stickies. Am I the guy that has "those carbs" I leveled the bike side to side and front and back just to make sure the huge differences weren't caused by that.
