The differnece from spilling fuel with the slightest tilt of the bike and it barely dripping is probably a few degrees. Always critical with these ASI or ASII, some KTM's Ive ownedhave ASII's but if yours is one degree off it could dump fuel with float height being just fine.

i stripped and cleaned my carb last night and noticed a few things that could do with improvement.

Firstly there is no way of knowing what position the carb should be in, normally on other bikes i have owned there is a notch in the boot that lines up with a nib on the carb, but none on the GG - so i just lined the seam on the boot up with the screw at the center of the carb

I also noticed that the boot is a bit warped, it was impossible for me to get the boot to fit properly around the carb

Could this be the answer to our excess fuel usage? I'll find out soon. I was careful to get the carb as vertical as possible when I had it off to lean it up some more.

Our weather is getting significantly warmer. What was OK at 30 degrees F is making the plug black at 45. The bike still seems to be strong across the powerband though.

Digging this back up.

My 2011 sixdays 300 has a 36mm carb . Was anything ever resolved about some having 38's (as the spec sheet says) and some having 36's ?

I wonder if the six day bikes have 36's and the xc and race versions have the 38's just a thought. But what will the nambotin have? Or the cervantes replica?

Better to not try to over-think this. Some have 36s, some have 38s. You don't know until you open the crate and look inside. That said, all of the 2011 bikes I've checked have had 38s with handlebar mounted choke actuation.

Nope , there is no rhyme or reason to it . Me & jeff both have six days one has a 36mm one has a 38 both have handlebar chokes.
