Mikuni Carb Tuning Manual……….
“The fuel level in the bowl controls the amount of fuel in the fuel mixture. Too high a level allows more fuel than necessary to leave the nozzle, enriching the mixture. Too low a level results in a leaner mixture, as not enough fuel leaves the nozzle. Therefore, the pre-determined fuel level should not be changed arbitrarily”
Honda Common Service manual………….
“lean mixture…….float level too low”
“rich mixture…….float level too high”
Honda Common Service Manual………….
“As fuel is consumed and the level in the chamber falls, the float and float valve are lowered and the chamber is immediately filled to a specified level. A rise in the fuel level causes the float and its valve to rise, the valve contacts the valve seat, and the supply is cut off.
Crazypj………………..
“High float level means high off gasket face, low float level is closer to gasket face.”
“Lower float level means the float is closer to gasket surface, always has always will (as it's shown in all service manuals)”
“higher number from gasket surface is called a high float level”
Crazy, I have no doubt you know what you are talking about, you are just having a hard time explaining it in a way that people who don't think upside down can understand.
For example, you wouldn't be able to explain fuel overflowing the bowl by saying the float level is too LOW............or........the engine won't idle since the idle jet is not picking up fuel due to the float level being to HIGH...........it just doesn't make sense to the common man.
