Both of them are doing very well, we've named him Leo, now that's enough dustbin lids for us, hopefully we will take him home Sunday morning. Congratulations, your family is in my prayers, I’ll be back to ripping the piss out of you before you know it though. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This causes the float bowl to overflow as the needle can't keep the float at the required level . They are Mikuni's Bob, but I've fitted a carb rebuild kit to both, so they have new float needles. I operated the floats with the float bowls off to make sure that the fuel flow stops when I lift the floats, and that all seems to work OK. The floats themselves appear to be ok too. The float needles seem to move ok too, without sticking, so I'll put the float bowls back on and put some tubing on the float drains and see what level the fuel goes to. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem I’m talking about isn’t with the actual needles but the o ring that sits in the seat. They fail and let the fuel past so that the float level rises. If you’re doing the measure with the tubing and you find the level is wrong replace the o rings with viton items as they’re not affected by the shit fuel we have now . 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have a diagram of the carbs Bob? I've been using the Haynes manual, but it's not the most detailed! From what I could see, the float needles have a rubber/viton tip, which seats onto a machined seat? There was no sign of an o-ring in there from what I could see. The kits did have an o-ring of sorts in them, that I couldn't find a home for, these were not normal o-rings, but elongated, like if you stacked several o-rings on top of one another.

I'm hoping that the problem is just the float height and I don't have to remove the carbs again, as they're an arse to remove and refit! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
