    The choke has a brass pick up tube that often plugs. The tube sticks into a passage inside the float bowl that often plugs up too.

    And yes, the main jet picks up fuel deep down into the bowl.

        They are all the same and I believe they were at 21.something which was within the specs so I never touched the floats hts. 3 fire and 1 doesnt with all 4 being the same? Nope it isnt floats.

        I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

                No kidding??? I didnt see that when i had them. Those are hard to crack. I would just use a dremel and a small wheel and grind a ditch along the crack and fill it with JB Weld and smooth it off with a file once it hardens. Probably never be a problem again. Take pics of that as I would like to see it.

                                        I do have one 32MM but it has a 135 in it. You can swap them out. PM me your addy again and I will get it taken apart and in the dip after work today.

                                            Thanks Chuck. Very generous.
                                            I am sure this probably happened in shipping.

                                                        Dang it. That kind of damage looks hard to do unintentionally.
