How do you set the float height to a certain given mesurement?

With a virnier caliper or with a Honda float hight tool.

Thats all good 'n well Stephen but where do you make the actual mesurement?

From the float bowl face to the top of the float. the float needle must be unloaded though to get a propper measurement.

Sorry to bring back an old topic but after finding this and the link on Tyga's site, I still wanted to make sure I was headed in the right direction before I put things back together.

So... to correctly measure float height, per Tyga's instructions, you need to set the carbs at 90 degrees to make sure the float piston is not compressed? As in, do not measure the height of the floats when fully extended right? I gather the point of the 90 degree position is just to make sure the floats are extended as far out without engaging the piston so you could actually do this manually by moving the float until you see the piston engage too?

Thanks,

Jae

Think about what the float, float needle, and needle jet are trying to accomplish. Here are two more images to help you.

If that doesn't do it, take the bike to a shop!

That works. Thanks Andy. I'm a visual kind of guy so I just needed to make sure the text and pics all matched up in my head...

Glad the diagram helped. I drew it (whilst sober, before Matt comments on the time of the post!) from memory, but I think it's fairly accurate.
