Sorry for another float height thread... But I cant find the answer.
Im setting up my 1980 Bs34's... Cleaned a few times, new pilot plugs, new float valve+seat. All thats left is setting float height.
So the carbs are sitting upside down, bowls off. The Haynes says 32+-1mm. Ive also read ~26mm. Which one is correct for my carbs? Remember it has the plastic floats.
More importantly; what is the correct way to measure the height?
-carbs right side up (floats on bottom), float valve open. Measure from gasket surface to lowest point of float.
-carbs upside down. Floats sitting with no force besides gravity.
-carbs upside down. Floats lifted up until they start opening the valve.
