V7Goose....Thanks for excellent advice...I think i can set the floats correctly now....Just one more Question...Are the pilot jets different sizes or did you mean the main jets were different......All of my pilot jets are #15

New to this forum but I knew I could get some "Good Advice"..Thank all of you for your input.....A+ Website

I think i may have partial clogged pilot jets....On carbs 3 and 4 i can turn pms in all the way and engine rpm only decreases very little like from 1000rpm to around 900rpm..Now have the turned out 3 1/2 turns and bike is still running lean. Checked spark plugs--Lean--White tips...Did cold start check...#1 and #2 heats up fast. #3 and #4 only warm at first then eventually heats up...Have done seafoam treatment. Bike still runs lean.....Sounds like a slight misfire on right side .Bike has 23k miles and running Bub Mufflers...any suggestions appreciated....thanks

I'm planning on doing a carb clean and have a couple questions i need help with...i have read procedure posted on checking float height....."when you slowly raise assembly the float pops up from the spring pressure of the needle valve" You measure float height at this point..While doing mine it looks like the needle valve is still closed. Does the needle valve suppose to open or just the pressure of the spring load plunger that makes the float pop up. Also what part of the float do you measure from...I know the wide side but do you measure from center, low side or high side...float sits at an angle to the float bowl surface..
