I received mine today. I have just had the whole thing apart. Floats seemed pretty close. I removed the 4 x bottom allen heads and the gasket. Checked the floats visually, then held the bowl on while filling the carb from the tank. After 20-30secs I figured it was full, took it back to the work bench and then removed the body. There was around 18mm from the top of the bowl to the fuel line. I tweaked this slightly and repeated until the level was a mm lower. I now have 19-20mm until fuel level which is about half the bowl.

I then started measuring up the slide. I have no idea what the difference between the rod in the lectron and the rod in the apt are. I haven't measured or miked them, but I had previously had the lectron set at 50.25mm from the bottom of the slide to the end of the rod. With the extra fine tuning of the APT I have dialled it in to be 50.15mm as my starting point.

I'm going to go and drop my airboot in some warm water for a bit and then install the lot back in place. Its been rubbing my shock spring and always appeared like it could have been a better fit so I'm doing that now too.

Also have to change the throttle cable back over to the motion pro T3, as I much prefer its captive ends from a functional and safety point of view.

measurements for the rod length on the smart carb are done from top of slide to bottom of rod.Usually they mark the preferred setting on the slide in ".

So the floats have to be set, are those directions with the carb. Why are the floats not set correctly when its shipped.

The floats are set but my carb travelled across the world. Why not double check them before installing?? I tell you what. I hope I never have to take that carb out. What a job it is trying to fit it in.. Shes toit!
