Title: Quick Carb Question
Post by: cosmiccharlie on July 27, 2011, 05:28:43 PM

Does the spring on top of the float needle "hang" over the float tab? See picture below. Can't find my Clymer and haven't had any luck searching the forum. :dunno_black:

Thanks! Cleaned the varnish out of the carbs today. Maybe I'll have it running tomorrow! :thumb:

Ok, one more question.

The top breather located between the carbs....Does it need to be plumbed to a filter?

That is the vent.It is not filtered from the factory and has a hose that runs down under the bike from the factory.I don't think it would hurt to install one.Put some where easy to get to and if it causes a problem,just pop it off.
