Anyone know the float hight for XJ900 carbs ?



Only got a downloaded manual and it show the clear tube method.

Anyone know what the float height using a ruler is ?
I'm with the Spik on this one. Unless you are confident a previous owner
has had at them and adjusted it all badly then leave well alone. It is
a nightmare to get right if you don't get it right first time. Trust me
on this. Especially if said previous owner has done more than just
bodge the float heights.


XJ900 pre Divy carbs
You tell us, since you've got the carbs and you've got the specs
for how to set them _exactly_ to the correct fuel level, rather
than approximately by setting the float level.
you use a ruler and measure from the seating of the float bowl to the
top of the float,

Its the same setting as using the clear pipe method except the pipe
method assumes the carbs are on the bike and the bike is running. You
have to remove the carbs and adjust each time, with the ruler method
you don't.

But then if you knew what you was on about you would of course know
this.
