Thomas,
I suspect you might be using the wrong reference measurement. If you
have a carb or a pair of carbs off the stack and on a level surface
and are feeding them with some type of elevated fuel source, (I just
started a siphon out of the gas tank with a pinch clip), then you are
supposed to be 15-17mm from the center of the piston valve center.
There is a line cast onto the outside of the removable fuel bowl
cover. This line is the "center of the piston valve" that they refer
to ... Make a mark 16mm below this line on the fuel bowl .. this is
the level you want to attain .. + or - 1mm. If you are trying to line
up with the casting mark you will be too high .. A lot of people
measure the float height mechanically inside the fuel bowl ...
whatever .. I don't do this because I am too klutzy .... No matter how
you do it your final test before re-assembly should still end up 16mm
+ or - 1mm below the casting line when you flood the bowl with fuel.
Many people shoot for the upper limit 15mm because it is of course a
higher level and it is easier to suck fuel out of the higher level
bowl. I think that the Factory tuning page even suggests this as a
means to fine tune pilot mixture richness etc ....
