    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

I've had a look at BassCliff's guide but I need further verification on measuring float height on my particular carbs. Nothing special,but I'm just a little unsure as to the correct place to measure or whether these are classified as the "stepped" type. The particulars...'83 GS650G with BS32 carbs (stock)

Here is a little photoshopped outline of a picture of the side of the float. Do I measure from the bottom of the BLUE line, or the bottom of the RED line?

Thanks.

Measure at the red line for sure. I accidentally did it from the blue line the first time and it would barely run.
 
Red Line

22.4mm from the bowl gasket surface, subtract 1mm if the gasket is on when you measure.

measure both sides, the floats can be twisted a bit sometimes...
 
Thank you, everyone. I think a PO may have measured form the BLUE line, as the current measurements from the RED line vary from 18.6 to 19.5mm
