(1/4) > >>

paulbaker1954:
Just fitted new fuel tap and did some fiddling with float heights

Now when I put bike on side stand revs are rising to around 2k

Anyone any theories?

Why?
Higher revs ai idle usually indicate leaner (less rich) running.

Bryanj:
Or incorrect cable routing pulling tight

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Change in float level will alter the mixture - might need air screw adjustments /  rebalance the carbs.

Not necessary as balance hasn't changed.
