Had a little adventure with this carb.
Went for a long ride Monday and the bike started flooding. Had to push it about 6 miles home.
That night I immeadiately thought about how the float was set WAY off spec according to the service
manual and I had to reset it quite a bit.
So I popped the carb and checked. WAY flooding.
Apparently the previous owner or his mechanic new the float was heavy and compensated for it.
I screwed that up setting it as the manual said.
I put it back 'eyeball guess' to what it was and today I had a beautiful running machine.
From before dipping the carb to fixing the float issue......
I have much improved cold start and run. Stable idle. And my full power seems to be back.

Now my only problem is that engine rap'n sound.
