Hi Guys,
 
Having a few issues getting the carbs to run smoothly.
 
I can get it to run but I still get fuel leaking out of the overflow tubes and from around the float bowl chambers.
 
I have increased the float heights to around 9mm and was wondering if this would cause the leaking?
 
It may also be my fuel pump (off a cbr 900) as when I connect it without the fuel reg it runs better but I get a lot more leaking.  I have ordered a pump from a R1 so hopefully this will sort my issues.
 
I have set the idle mixtures about 3 turns out and the slide needles in the middle position.
 
Is there anything else I can do to get it running properly so I can take it to a dude to get tuned properly?  And where would be a good place to go?
 
Cheers
 
Matt
 
 

Hi Matt,
Sounds like float levels are too high if fuel runs out of overflows.

Hey Peter,
 
Any idea what they should be set to?

I've snipped a page from the R1 service manual which will hopefully help you out re: float levels.

 
I have a PDF version of the whole service manual if needed.

Cheers,
 
I lowered the float and it seems all good now.
 
Well, good enough to get it somewhere to get it tuned.
 
Cheers
