Need Help! Float Height Adjustment!

[billwest]

Thanks Pat, I hadn't seen that page.  I had however looked at the tutorial on the forum.
I actually measured mine at point "A" originally, and the carbs promptly overflowed, hence my search.
All is good now.

Bill.

Hi
  Does any know if there is an image anywhere that shows the fuel level in the carbs using the clear hose method? I would like to try adjusting it this way.
Thanks

Here's some info from our XJ brothers:

Check fuel levels with the engine running (vacuum petcocks open or fuel pump running)

Here are a couple of topics with pictures and the specs from the GYSM.

Recently I found the best for me photo tutorial (on ATM forum) about float height adjustment: http://www.allthingsmoto.com/forums/f-15/how-set-your-motorcycle-carburetor-float-level-more-commentary-13608/

I don't know if it is any help but I made a "float gauge" out of a piece of aluminum sheet. Now I can make sure that both floats are level and parallel (will not rub against the float bowl). Disadvantage it's a fixed height of 22mm for me.  The narrow legs rests on top of the carb bowl flange bump.
