Further to my other posts about rebuilding my UK 1994 A9, I'm know trying to set the carb floats. The Kawasaki manual says to hold the carbs at an angle where the float bowl 'peg' just touches the valve. I've made a tool to set them at 17mm, as the manual says, butI cannot find a constant point. I have tried to see when the valve arm just touches the sprung tip of the valve, and check the height, but it varies by 1-3mm.
Harley state a set angle to check theirs, think its 20 Degrees. so you make a simple ramp, place carb on it and measure the float height.
Does anyone know what angle we should use? OR...do I get them close, and check the fuel level using an external hose and gauge?
The bike was running really well, butone carb keeps dripping fuel, I've checked the bowl, no leaks from anywhere, other than the overflow tube, which is obviously working!
