The carbs you illustrated aren't from a CB400F are they? I know I'm tired or getting drowsy from fumes but my floats at least appear to be the other way up to the ones you show, I've got a flat surface....they also seem to rest at an angle...my carbs are much cleaner now btw :o

No George, they were 500 or 550 carbs, not 400. If you have set the floats correctly, as in my guide, the floats shouldn't sit at an angle. With the float tang just touching but not depressing the float needle, they actually sit almost spot on horizontally with the mating face of the carb body where you take the measurement from.

Athame57:
Thanks for this Julie, a bit of a relief, I should have left things alone today, starting something when you're tired isn't helpful!  ;)
