Z1000A1 float level?

[drydockdavies]

Just setting the float levels using the pipe method. Is the level between these marks or exactly on the base of the carb body?
Many thanks

I always set mine as close to middle as i can

Like bill says,I have always set mine midway between the marks, firstly i measure the float levels with a ruler to get a rough position.

Measure and set the float height as per manual and then check the actual fuel level. Set in between the lower and upper edge of the bowl as shown and you'll be good to go.

Many thanks, three just below carb body, one too high. Set and adjusted using zpower tool. Set the carbs up in the bench vice, still managed to cover myself in petrol!!

Carb rebuild kits from Wemoto, two of the float valves leaked immediately!

With the float valves I have always polished them using a touch of silver on a cocktail stick for the seat and bit of stiff card for the tip of the needle.
