nice plan batman!
if you modify the "tool" length could you use it with the carb in the bike and use the same fuel level position? - as a check, obviously you would need to remove it to adjust the level

Ingenious! I hope you enjoyed the acquisition of the component parts of the tool as well

Heck of an idea. You could also drill/tap an extra bowl drain plug and put a barb on it. I'm on it

There used to be such a tool you could buy a few years ago. It screwed into the float bowl drain.

if you had this tool mounted with the carb in place where would you check the level? (since the carb sits at an angle)

I think it would be pretty hard to get an accurate reading having it mounted on the bike. Since you have to remove the carb anyway to install 'tool' and most likely make adjustments...why not just bench test?

To confirm, the correct level is right at the seam where the bowl and carb body meet?

To confirm, the correct level is right at the seam where the bowl and carb body meet = yes in my case the fuel level before its about 3-4 mm up from the bowl end the carb body end if stay on stand lose benzine , end rich on bottom end rpm the adjusting with keihin way its not correct for me because cant see the level on real time

@ Gasgasogeros,t hank you very much for this.
My 2003 EC250 has never idle'd since I got it and also ran horrible when in low revs - especially because I converted it to ride on the road. I have tried different jets and idle jets, it didnt make a difference The fuel height on mine was about 5mm above the seam, when I mounted the carb in a vice and filled the fuel bowl I could see the fuel trickling through in to the carb opening and overflow pipe - which explains why when adjusting the air screw and idle screw it made no difference at all. Got the bike idling now and it feels a lot more crisp off the throttle. |
