Reading wet fuel level

[jby1999]

Quick question can't seem to locate answer figure I'd ask when reading level in tube do you read te bottom most part or the top of the concave line
Gonna do this sideways for use of characters

17mm >)
Or
17mm )<

Turn both those 90? clockwise to understand (<) refers to reading above or below the crescent

Somebody said make a mark at 16mm and 17mm and make sure the whole dip is between the lines. I'm not sure how I read it when I checked mine. Danny built my carbs so I emptied one into a jar and put tape on the jar so I can always use that to check now.

Here's some good info.....remember don't just use the casting marks as they are not reliable due to the ability the seats might not be at same heights...

I usually split it in the center. Unless you a using a large diameter hose, it shouldn't be a very large "bow" anyways.

It's called the miniscus and you read from the bottom of the arc....it's created by fluid surface tension on the column and doesn't create enough head pressure to be of any significance.

Aside from the perfection factor my take has been........not so much that they are spot on the mark but that ALL 4 carbs read the same. After all the main purpose is that all the cylinders are drinking the exact same amount for tuning/balance purposes.....of course I could be wrong......wouldn't be the last time...........

Does anybody know how much is the quantity of gas equivalent to the 17mm? Might be a wrong question but nevermind I ask lol
