Need help with float height-2.....Success

[lopee]

So my bike has been running ok since the wiring trouble i had recently. Now i believe its running too rich.The float heights are above the bowl gaskets and i dont know enough to know which way to move the little tab the float needle are on to make the right correction.  If anyone has pictures of the actual process it would be extremely helpful.

The wiki shows the directions from the Suzuki manual; the diagram is quite good:

Stainless steel rear brake line

Just wondering... why the rear line only? If only one line is going to be stainless, most people opt for the front only. Some people claim it's overkill on the rear because the rear brake is prone to lock-up. Personally, I have stainless front and rear and haven't had any problems yet.

Yea bring the carbs over ... I am not sure if I can get the carbs off if you brought the bike ... anyway, you can get the carbs out right.
I'll PM you tommorow time and directions.
Cool.

Buddha: Awsome, the bike runs ok, needs to be better, could make it around charlotte but not sure. Will take carbs off and bring over, cool! I'll look for ya.

BeRto: Sorry, SS is on the front (previous owner) my typo, my bad. I want to upgrade the rear, just no money right now and the brake grabs just fine.

[The Buddha]

You want SS rear line. Bring $20 over, I'll get you something that will work.
Cool.
Buddha.

Just pulled the carbs off again, gonna give these floats one more try!

[lopee]

I finally got her just about even on both sides. I tried to put the toilet analogy in my head and work on the carbs right-side up. I held the carbs up while i pressed the float assy. into full contact. Then I eye balled where the line on the float would be parallel to the bowl seam. Next, I watched where the float needle actually contacted its seat and pressed the tangs to line everything up as should be.
Thanks for all your help, going on a test ride with new plugs. report back later and try and work on some pics if all goes well.

Buddha: Im still interested in that ss rear line.

Yea, just ride it. Open it in winter if needed. For now, ride.
Cool.
