Man, I just found this video three years later and it's perfect! I didn't know the push-pin in the float is called a damper. I know it's for vibrations/bounces/bumps but now I've got knowledge. I'll be sure to pass it along if I teach anybody about carburetors. Thank you for a really great video!
Another way to check the float height is to plug a tube in the bottom gaz evac hole of the carbs and bend it over up the gaz should stop straight to the float and jet cover cap ...

Shane, great video! i have a question: I'm setting float height on Keihin CR 29's, I know the height should be 14mm, but on what angle I can't seem to find. Also, the float valve has gunk on the o-ring, i changed but I see that the valve has two holes above where the o-ring sits. at the bottom of the carb bowl itself there are also two holes, do i match them to the valve? thanks
The floats that are all plastic are NOT adjustable. Therefore, if you are having a problem with those kinds of floats, the only option is to install a brand new one. Again, they are not adjustable, because there is NO metal tab to bend and adjust.
By leaning the carb 35• that's how you need to set it not by flipping the Carb completely upside down? On all carbs or? I'm working on a keihin for a rm250 1997
Shane Conley hi. Just wanted to know if you have any advice for the 360 Prairie carb. It went kind of fast bought it used changed the jets, new carb.boots and put new float n screw in just so I wouldn't strip them. Tried ALOT of time to get the bike bike to run better then when I bought it no luck. So finger Crossed if you have any advice in the adjustment for the float hight. 😔
I would check some other things like compression, valves, intake leaks...ect. If all of those are good, then carb adjustments.

With regards to rich and lean Let me understand this ..when the float comes up it closes the valve....doesn't closing the float needle valve allow less fuel in. So, if that is correct... then wouldn't that make it leaner? Actually, it couldn't work any other way. When the fuel level goes down the float drops down (because of gravity) it opens the needle valve and lets more fuel in. I think you may have your rich and lean information with regard to float position completely backward..
Well Ray...that's why I'm the expert here. Watch the video again. Your missing a key piece here. Opening and closing of the float needle can be thought of as an on/off valve....the key to rich or lean is float height. Watch again and see if it makes sense this time.
Okay, I agree..you are the expert, I don't mean to dispute that...you make some great videos. As I understand it....the float height at any time depends both on how much fuel is in the bowl and how much fuel the valve lets in the bowl. but that really has nothing to do with your bike running rich or lean. Also, there is another factor to consider.... the fuel in the bowl is rarely in a level condition when the bike is moving because the rider is constantly accelerating, stopping and going up and down hills and leaning the bike on curves. causing the fuel to irregularly splash around up and down in the bowl constantly causing the float to move up and down, That is why there is a cushion spring in the needle valve. So, please tell me why worry so much about the float being set so precisely? Just as long as the float setting keeps the bowl from overflowing and wasting fuel or dropping too drastically low and starving the bike for fuel.....most bikes will run just fine. If you don't believe me, test some different un-precise float settings and then ride the bike.
+Ray Hensley Oh my Ray....completely incorrect on the the float level does not effect rich or lean my friend. Float height effects rich or lean to EVERY fuel circuit. Think of it as fuel "available" to the jet...a float shutting off earlier I would have less fuel available causing a lean condition. Another simple example of this is just like your toilet bowl water level. The water has a job to do to flush the toilet if you set the float too low and don't have enough water available I can't do all the work it needs to do. Fuel level works in the same way a hi float height will cause a rich condition because to much fuel is available to the jet that isn't needed just has a toilet. Ever notice on your toilet how the water level six below the overflow pipe? That's not just to prevent overflowing it's because no more than that is needed. Well unless you had a really big lunch which would require a double flush ha ha. Thanks for the compliments on the videos I hope this helped.
Okay, got it. So, the fuel sloshing around in the bowl while the bike is bouncing around on a bumpy road is irrelevant because that won't cause the bike to run too rich or too lean because the exact perfect fuel level will still aways be available to flow through the jets if the floats are set perfect and the effects of all that sloshing around in the bowl while riding can't make the bike run to rich or too lean at times because of that unlevel fuel in the bowl. Wow! Good thing our toilets don't get bounced around like that huh? I have rebuilt dozens of carbs over 30 years and I have always just set the floats so the fuel stays somewhere above the jets and somewhere below the overflow tube and my bikes have always run just fine, not too rich and not too lean. I'm just lucky I guess. Good thing I wasn't a cage rider where me and my bike went upside down every so often :). Sorry, for being so slow to grasp the concept. I was just trying to get some clarification. I wouldn't want to tell someone something that was not quite accurate. Thank you, so much for your patience with me. I've learned so much, you are a great teacher..keep up the good work.

I know I was referred to as an ass by the poster.My comments still stand. To hold a carb and guess at an angle... yeah, it looks good but... keep on refering to that manual... They give angles for a reason and holding it to your eyeball doesn't count among other things... the FSM gives ball bark. Get out of the cheap seats and sit behind home plate. Bench test, wet method. The editing sucks, your method in this vid sucks. Plain and simple. Fine, I'm an ass. Your type video is the reason I have to fix bad running motorcycles because of carb issues other than than the "it sat over the winter and won't run" crap.
Yeah.... Where is this 35 mm angle coming from?Try 17.5 to 18 for a Harley Keihin CVK. You half get info right, too high on float and it's rich, too low and it's lean.Other than that, how are you an instructor?If this is the s*** you teach you need to either quit, evaluate your "school's" manuals, or learn something. Factory manuals give specs, no doubt, but understanding and delivery are piss poor. I feel sorry for people that think this a teaching tool.Gee, and I wonder why I get a bunch of carbs every year...
SuperEvilmonkey88 1. Your being a jackass. 2. The 35 is degrees of carb tilt PER THE OEM FACTORY MANUAL 3. The 17.5 18 mm is I guessing what you were actually thinking when it came to float height which needs set at this 35 degree angle. 4. Learn to communicate if you wish to be part of this community. Asshole know it all get the boot. Now if a mistake is made and you have good information to share then by all means address correction. Your return response will determine your character as having a bad day or just a typical asshole....
at last, someone who doesn't beat about the bush, knows his stuff, explains it in plain clear english and doesn't play silly music over the top! top man!
👍 Thanks Dave...share my checklist message...😊
Man, I just found this video three years later and it's perfect! I didn't know the push-pin in the float is called a damper. I know it's for vibrations/bounces/bumps but now I've got knowledge. I'll be sure to pass it along if I teach anybody about carburetors. Thank you for a really great video!

Super job; no need to learn through experience when someone is willing to teach you how to do it right the first time.
Another way to check the float height is to plug a tube in the bottom gaz evac hole of the carbs and bend it over up the gaz should stop straight to the float and jet cover cap ...

No hair and beard...
I know I was referred to as an ass by the poster.My comments still stand.
To hold a carb and guess at an angle... yeah, it looks good but... keep on refering to that manual... They give angles for a reason and holding it to your eyeball doesn't count among other things... the FSM gives ball bark. Get out of the cheap seats and sit behind home plate. Bench test, wet method. The editing sucks, your method in this vid sucks. Plain and simple. Fine, I'm an ass. Your type video is the reason I have to fix bad running motorcycles because of carb issues other than than the "it sat over the winter and won't run" crap.
Yeah.... Where is this 35 mm angle coming from?Try 17.5 to 18 for a Harley Keihin CVK.
You half get info right, too high on float and it's rich, too low and it's lean.Other than that, how are you an instructor?If this is the s*** you teach you need to either quit, evaluate your "school's" manuals, or learn something.
Factory manuals give specs, no doubt, but understanding and delivery are piss poor.
I feel sorry for people that think this a teaching tool.Gee, and I wonder why I get a bunch of carbs every year...

1. Your being a jackass.
2. The 35 is degrees of carb tilt PER THE OEM FACTORY MANUAL
3. The 17.5 18 mm is I guessing what you were actually thinking when it came to float height which needs set at this 35 degree angle.
4. Learn to communicate if you wish to be part of this community. Asshole know it all get the boot. Now if a mistake is made and you have good information to share then by all means address correction. Your return response will determine your character as having a bad day or just a typical asshole....
