Float bowl drain and fuel height level adapter

A float kevel adaptor I can screw in when I need it would be great for me. My GS1100 isn't a Problem but the Mikuni BS34s on my GPZ750 don't have the drains on the bottom, just a screw you loosen on the side to drain the bowls

ok, i have a float bowl on its way to me. what exactly are you guys wanting? a permanent drain/level gauge adapter or just one you can screw in when you need it?

Thanks to TATU for the loan of the bowl.

Just take the float bowl to the hardware store and find a plastic nipple that is close enough to the right size so it will screw into the bowl making its own threads

You live in a tree??? I guess that explains a lot.

throwing range is not a problem, but my aim might be a little off.

I will need geographical co-ordinates for my aim.

if someone has a spare float bowl they can throw my way, i am willing to make one!

I was thinking the same thing, but the BS32 and BS34 use the same float bowl, so it doesn't matter which one it's designed for.

.

I wish someone would come up with something like this for the bs32's

I have been looking for the thread with something like these actually in use.
I know I have seen it, but cannot now find it.
I am trying to find a picture of the hoses routed to add to this thread.
No Fuel?

Can anybody help?

Version 2

ok, have developed it into a much more compact, less fussy design. Still requires the float bowls to be drilled but i think this looks a lot better now.....

Oh, good idea man. Can you post a pic of them or a link to what they look like.

Good idea indeed, thanks. Pics would be nice for sure too - and any chance you went to a standard big box store like Lowes or Home Depot? I have BS32's but the concept is the same.

Was thinking I might try to re-thread some Zerks as suggested above if I can't go the plastic nipple route.

Oh, good idea man. Can you post a pic of them or a link to what they look like.

I use plastic nipples from the hardware store that are just a hair larger then the hole in the bowl on the 34 Cvs. You just screw it in & it makes its own threads on the plastic. They don't leak and I just use them once to set the float level with a piece of clear plastic hose on the ends. They cost about 35 cents each

Ahh, of course!

I think the zerk fitting may be an option then. Just drill out the bottom and remove the ball and spring and presto, no? Zerks are dirt cheap too.
