Sometimes a float problem is actually the needle valve in the bowl. Some of them just have a flat metal "spring" that can get "altered".



If you have a manual as I'm always screamin for you people to buy... you can adjust the float level. Here I'm doing so with a depth gauge on my calipers


Now granted I understand you were able to fix yours without this... but just to teach others what is what.

Also, you could run some seafoam in it to help as well.

when I get off my ass I will. the beast is torn apart and only the tail fairings match the fender right now. my gas tank is 100% different paint scheme(its my spare tank) the damn upper is beat to shit, and just ugh. yeah. oh and my positive cable for the battery is not so positive. its severely corroded the hell apart, explaining some of my shitty idle problems.

heres one before today when I put the spare tank on it. I still have to sandblast the headers, and see if my friends set of YZF600 headers will fit, cause I hate thes 4:2:1 things that look like 2 EX500 Vance & Hines 2:1s combined on a 4 cyl.

oh yes, thats ohlins alright man. reservoir AND the freakin shock. how damn nice is that shit?

mine has SS line too but those pics are from me working on another chopper the other week...

You will be surprised where they put those fuel filters... those carb pics I put up are off a Honda Shadow Sabre and it ran a fuel pump on carbs. The fuel filter was under the swingarm next to the rad resv.

I suggest you pull the tank too... rinse it out and see what you get.... you may be surprised... I remember when I started getting clogged jets and found this coming out of my tank (pre pingle filter)

as of right now, I'm working on putting the bike together, after finding my positive cable was TOAST, and the battery went boom while on the charger. (lucky I had a spare)
