[QUOTE="CarlHungness, post: 174316, member: 2517"] I just made a fitting that replaces the 1BA bolt in the float bowl arm and hope to test tomorrow. I don't have immediate access to an extra bottom banjo bolt as I see in your photos. Having a hard time reading the photos: Upper left looks like the level is above the base nut, lower left appears as though your hand has lowered the tube itself and it appears as though the fuel level is at your marker point. Thus I'm not sure how to measure after looking at the top left photo. Thanks for posting the great looking photos and the advice on washers, but I don't know if I'll know what I'm doing when I hook up my line, so will give it a go and see if I can ascertain where the fuel level actually is. It seems to me the bike is running out of fuel once started, and haven't touched float bowls in years nor moved the position of the carbs...but at this point I'll try everything. [/QUOTE]
