- Check your float level whenever you're reassembling your carb after cleaning it. You can check it with the old school method I'm showing you in this video or more accurately using a protractor.
Thank you! I did not have a protractor handy, so I used the measure / level app on the iPhone.
In all the years I have worked on carbs I never knew this. Thank you
Love your simple and clear explanations; I'm off to remove and tune my C.V. Thanks man.
Appreciate that!
Protractor and Vernier Calipers yield perfection. Thanks for that 11mm spec!
Amazing and easy explanation. Thanks alot!
Appreciate the feedback!
Nice gonna go try this, let you know
Optionally cut a wooden wedge with the desired angle. Should do the job as well
Must make sure the protractor is level when set at 0 degrees first.
Great video. I'm having issues since carburetor was rebuilt. Running out of fuel top end & on hills. Thanks again. My channel: Wildman RG3
Thank you. In some cases, during rebuild, some people end up installing the needle jet the wrong way around. That could cause issues like that. Or incorrect float level of course.
A visual check of the seam in my float shows that it is level with the carburetor body, but it appears that the needle is not fully seated all the way, because if I press on the float slightly, it still goes in about 1/8 inch (on the rich side). You said that the float needle should just barely be touching the dampener, but should there still be some additional play when you push on the float slightly? Also, my bike, a 2000 Heritage Springer has a fuel shut off valve, so even if the float were to be set incorrectly, with no additional fuel flowing in, why does it matter, specially since the needles and jets only allow a certain amount of gas to flow in?
Did you zero angle the protractor base when mounting in vice with an angle finder or level. If not then your final angle of 20 degrees is not correct unless you just got lucky.
Yes, I did.
so what did you set your protractor on 15 or 20? greetings from Sweden.
Hi there, I set it right in between:)
ok...feareunugh..😄
where does the carburetor overflow hose go after leaving the back of the carburetor?
Route wherever you want
My CV has round floats please tell me how to.adjust it. I am told you don't tilt it but turn it upside down. I need help with is 1990 model.
Not really sure what your float looks like. Can you attach a picture here? It should still have that little tab you can bend to adjust it.
Not sure how to add a pic
What size punch is that?
It’s a 1.5mm or 1/16
