[QUOTE="Speedtwin, post: 179642, member: 5012"] The position of and angle of the float bowl is my go to number one thing. Your looks to far forward in the wee picture. I set up with bike on the level, get the float bowl at 90 degrees to the carb body and sitting level with the level ground. By loosening and twisting the carb you can get it leveled up. Moving the float bowl fore and aft you can achieve a level set up. Adjust fuel pipe feed to suit when set. Then fuel/float level,I set fuel level just below the air mixture screw. No fuel leaks from the overflow hole, sorted. Al [/QUOTE]
