[QUOTE="joedrum, post: 208361, member: 98"] Wow ..stock carbs are monsters ...you could possibly flow test them installed on bike but if it was me I’d take off ...as posted earlier float height is the least of the problems with stock carbs ...me personally my bike doesn’t have stock carbs at all ...I have weber carb on my bike ...but when I did use them I never put them on the bike till I flow tested them or as it sometimes called bench tested them ...it involves having testing to see if bowls fill up and then also they shut off fuel when bowls are full and leaving it that way a few hrs to see if they leak ...this is done with gravity feed fuel source about 4 ft above carb rack ...I used a old lawn mower tank for this test ...paper towels around the carb rack for fuel shut off test ...this doesn’t make carb work good but at least you know it’s getting gas and the floats are shutting it off ...should be a thread here somewhere that more better than my words on it and how to do it ..I’m just no good at finding anything lol ..it surprises me not one carb is getting gas though ....if this is your first dealing with these stock carbs hang in there it can be rough [/QUOTE]
