float

I have read the how to on this subject but do not quite understand without step by step pictures. Know how to connect a tube to the drain and open the drain valve but the measurements and comparing to a mark on the carb is confusing. Is there any other article about how to check the float...

Ok. I've read the stickies more times than I care to admit. I think I'm doing this right, but I want to make sure. Could you tell me if I've just set this float correctly at 1.115? I'm going to proceed with the assembly of the other carbs, but I really don't want to have to take everything apart...

How do you remove the float needle seat??? Looking at the seat itself you would think it just will pull straight out..... It won't. I am now past the point of no return on this

I got a little fed up with trying to use calipers on the rounded surfaces of the float chamber and float itself so I snipped this little deal out from the plastic cap of a vitamin bottle. There are probly several ways to fab this thing but I started with a carb that was already adjusted and...

My float is stuck open on a carb and gas is pouring out the overflow. I need to ride home about seven miles. Can i plug the overflow and ride it home?

The one I'm talking about is under the main jet block, do you have to put the same one back in it or can you use a compairable one , will it mess with how it runs if you put a different one in it

Decided I never had checked the float level on this thing, this is my first max only had it 4 three months. So took it part all the levels were way off they went all the way up so I'm sure this has been some of my problems always smelled gassy. So adjusted put back on went to start gas stared...

I have an H/F float charger that I'm not using anymore, if anyone wants it let me know. Works fine, includes pigtail to bike.

I've been asked how to do this and notice there isn't a sticky for this in the carbs section. First, here's a link showing where the float bowl drain screws are: http://www.vmaxforum.net/showthread.php?t=1570 The line on the carb body to measure from is on the left side of each carb just...

i have a carb that will not quit flooding no mater what so while im in it the 3rd time id like to replace the seat. ...... um how in the bejesus does one remove that thing

I adjusted the float height on my '06 last summer - was way too high - using the bench method and measuring on the inside of the housing, but I'd like to check the actual fuel level. I tried to do this with the carbs on the bike but had no luck getting a consistent measurement. So, how do you...

What is the best way to set the float height when you asemble your carbs after cleaning? I am aware of the external hose method but would like to get them as close as possible when putting them back together.

I set up the dry float levels but many times when I try to check them I get very low readings and have to lower the fuel drain line let some fuel run out and then get a different reading. Not sure why this is. While cleaning a set of old carbs I had an idea. Not sure if it will work but when...

Check out this new tool I got - a digital scale. I originally wanted to weigh my floats, but I haven't had a float scale in years & the new digi-stuff is way more accurate & easier to come by as well. I got this scale with free shipping all the way from Hong Kong to Palm Harlem for only 10 bucks...

what is the procedure for adjusting the floats? should the carbs be vertical or horizontal, and what are you using for reference. I am tired of playing with the carbs and hope to get it right this time. I have a UFO 4-1 pipe, and y baffles removed from the airbox, and KN filter in it. I...

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...

I can find a lot of great info on how to set the float levels with the carbs off the bike and everything opened up, thanks for that everyone. I cannot find something that shows how you can verify your work once complete and see the actual wet level. I have read somewhere that you put a clear...

Ok , well this is strange - has any one had this problem , and if so what is the fix -- i have set my floats as per the dry setting thread, all is well, however twice after sitting the bike for a week one float has changed its setting so high , it allows gass to flow out the overflow on top of...

Hello to all, this is my first post on the boards. I have a 1988 VMax project that I bought. When I got it the carbs were in a box with a receipt for $130 to clean them. Along with the carbs removed there were assorted other things taken off the bike (some of which are still not on). I now...
