Default Re: LT-1 Replacement Carb Suggestion

The project is complete Eric. I installed the floats and needle & seats this morning. I took it out for a quick ride and it seems fine. I will know better after I can put some miles on it on a warm day. I don't know what the deal was with the floats. They were the same weight as the new ones and had the same hinge angle but now my needle & seat height is correct. Looking at it before I took it apart, the float drop had to be way off. They were both screwed down to almost the bottom of the bowl.

Gary;

I had a hunch that would clear it up. Guess we'll find out for certain once it warms up and you can take it out and hammer on it a bit.

Keep me posted.
Eric
