Z1000st carb float height

#1 PostAuthor: Mrg » Sun May 19, 2024 4:38 pm

Is there a measurement that will work instead of measuring it against the outside of the bowl

Doing it the wet method way allows for differences in float bouancy but still maintain the same fuel levels in all the bowls.
Rough set the at 25mm inverted them adjust by the wet method.

Wet method whilst on the bench is by far the better method.
You could try drilling a tiny hole in each bowl at the correct level and you will never have to adjust them again :lol: .
