This is on my '77 GS750.
I just rigged up some clear fuel line on some spare float bowls so I could see what the actual fuel level is. 3 of the 4 carbs showed fuel levels at about 2 or 3mm below the top of the bowl (which I think is about right). The other was way lower...maybe 13mm. All the floats were set pretty accurately at the same height.
What I finally found was the the spring thing on the float needle had a way stronger spring when compared to the others. I had just installed rebuild kits and the strong spring was from the kit so I put one of the old needles in. Now the fuel level goes up to about the same as the others.
BTW I connected the clear tubing to the overflow connector on the bottom of the bowl and cut the overflow tube off inside the bowl. My GS750 and GS850 use the same float bowls so now I have a set of test float bowls that will work for either.
