    Float level problems

    Hey guys, heres the issue. I've read the service manual, read every thread, sticky, and answers on here. I tried setting the levels with the dry measurements of 1.115 and 1.125 with the carbs upside down on level surface but the wet readings were showing too lean. I was getting low wet readings...

    Checking Carb Float Level

    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...

    I just finished up all my mods with the installation of Marks 4 into 2, 14" Cans and 2" Cores. I'm just wanting to double check the carb set up for sea level. I took the bike out last night and it seems to be running pretty well with the stock carbs, K&N Filter, Y still installed. I'm very...

    how to check the wet level

    I adjusted the dry float level last time I opened the carbs, but I would like to check if everything is fine without opening everything again. I saw in a post of NauthyG that was the way to go (here). Can somebody give me the steps ? Maybe a good post I didn't read yet ? Thanks

    Progressive Lowered Fork Oil Level

    Quick question. When you lower your forks (1" or 2") with the progressive kit, you still measure the same distance from top of the fork tube (compressed) to the level of the oil right? I don't think the height of the bottom of the slider to the top of the fork tube when compressed changes...

    Wet float level checking thoughts

    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...

    145's too lean for sea level?

    Do any of you carb gurus think I'm flirting with disaster keeping my Utah jetting while back home on the Texas Coast? I took it for a ride last night, about 30 miles, and it runs fantastic. Temp was about 55, dry and probably higher barometric pressure than normal since a cool front was...

    oil level

    Changed my oil about 1000 miles ago. Level is a little low, about half to 3/4 of glass. My question is I cannot find the rest of the 20w50 I had left over but did find some amsoil 10w40 synthetic. I do not need much just a top off - think I should wait till I get a chance to get some more 20w50...

    Why is my oil level rising?

    So I have this strange problem. My bike leaks oil from just about every gasket and seal, but after about a 30 mile ride my oil level goes up about 1/8" on the site glass. This is parked in the same place on ctr stand when being checked. I know it's not adding oil to itself. I drained it the...

    Verifying float wet level

    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...

    Fuel Level Gauge

    Has anyone used the fuel level gauge (YM-01312) in the manual (Pg 5-9) to check fuel levels in float bowls? Is the "piston center mark" on the gauge or carb? Where do you hold the gauge for correct measuring? The reading would fluctuate depending on how high/low you hold it since it is...

    Newbie Question about Oil Pressure / level

    Ok, I have a '07 MAX completely stock. The problem I am having is this: When leaving a stop, and after turning right OR left, my oil light comes on when I get to 5k in third gear and stays on until I back off the gas. After it goes out, I can gas it hard without it coming on. Taking off...
