Good luck at Romaniacs Michael
Thanks for the reply Corey. I too am interested in the specs on the rod. Is it possible to spec it up myself in the meantime while I wait for the replacement? It can sometimes take up to a month for parts to ship from the states to aus depending on postal method. I also understand the logic behind not having an air correction circuit, but it really does rely on the metering rod being spot on. In regards to Mikes TMs, can you elaborate on the issues he was experiencing and how they were resolved? |

Sadly, I need to ask for VERY specific directions on how to set the float height on the Smartcarb. I don't get it. Anyone?
Also, Corey, what are the plans for the Grose valve and will it be something I can add later? My intention is to turn my bike in to a DP eventually and it would seem that the Grose valve would really help in that situation. PS. Also, why don't you guys offer a 1/4 turn float bowl drain that can be accessed by hand. I'd pay extra for that. W/ a drain line running underneath the bike would even make it better. |

There is a bit about setting the float level in the manual so once you get yours it should be pretty clear.
What I do is remove the carb from the bike and then remove the float bowl keeping the carb level all the time not to spill fuel. Measure the fuel height in the bowl to get a base setting. Adjust the tab on the float arm in the direction you want to go (lean, rich). Drain the bowl and mount it back to the carb with only two screws. Now comes the tricky part. Connect the fuel line to the carb (still off the bike, no slide), open the choke and slowly start opening the fuel tap. If you did it right no fuel will gush out of the metering tube and you can go back to step one and measure again. Michael |

Sounds like a pain. I was hoping to just install the SC and ride.

The grose jet inlet valve will likely be standard on all SC's before long. Our number one issue is the $^&@! sourced floats that we have been using and it has to get much better than this. We have drains on the bowl now, and about a quarter turn is all it takes to open it. Now just need a big thumbwheel on the screw. The hose fitting on the bowl will allow a hose to be placed under the engine. Last edited by Corey; 06-28-2013 at 01:56 PM. |

I see the KTMtalk forum is back up. MikeS has posted most of the issues they have had over there. Also have shared quite a bit of information on their cycleplayground website. I would check those. |

I had a check and a read on the CP site. I also read the whole other thread previously and may have missed it, but didn't see anything technical that actually outlined his issue and how he resolved it. I also only just realised his model is using the grose valve, where I'm on a needle and seat setup. For now I'm just waiting out the time until a replacement MR arrives and hoping that will be the fix. I'm feeling positive. |
