SETTING FLOAT HEIGHTS
Nurse Julie:
The carbs that I used for the photos are Keihin 069a's from a CB 550/4 . The principal of setting the float levels is the same for all the models I mentioned, even though the carbs may differ slightly in design.
Bryanj:
You can get a copy of the original Honda gauge for just over a tenner now. Ebay item 221394726969

Great guide, just what is needed to keep these bikes running, the more clear guides the better they save that hard learned knowledge. We (I) could have been doing things wrong for years without knowing it !
Cheers

Laverda Dave:
Thanks for the guide Julie.
Bryan, thanks for the heads-up re: the float gauge, I have just placed my order on ebay. I have a gauge I made myself but a claibrated one I can use on a few bikes is a better idea.
I have to take the carbs off the 400/4 yet again as they have begun to flood again, this time from the float bowl joints!The originals are the Keyster kit o-rings.
I purchased a set of Julie's viton o-rings a few weeks ago so I'll fit these and hope it cures it. I would like to sell the bike before summer is out and once it is fully run-in.
Nurse Julie:
A few of my buddies in USA use this nifty little measure, they buy them from ebay USA.
