    A note to old forum members...
    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...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Float levels suck....

"bowl with view"
should be attached, not sure what i am doing here.
REd line is upper fuel level
black line is lower fuel level
If you can double click and enlarge the photo, you can see the fuel level.
 
"hi tech fuel bench"
note level to the right ensuring accurate readings.
fuel reservoir above rack in inverted Onan bottle.
Please, No Smoking around this bench.
 
Very nice.

From what did you clip the clear material? Is it affixed with epoxy or what?
 
the Mylar (very thin) was from a rotator out of a Code 3 ambulance light bar.
Probably get a piece from a hardware store.
I used clear (2) part liquid epoxy.
 
I wonder if it would work to just cut a vertical slit out of the bowl and fill it with the clear epoxy directly. Like the strip on quarts of oil...

Gotta get me a few extra bowls and mess around. ;-)
 
wow, that sounds like a good idea. would be easy to cut a slit with one of those air cut off tools or a dremel. I love to see an idea developed into simplicity. good luck, let us know.

Sorry, maybe I missed it - how did you find out what the fuel level specification is? I only have the float level setting for mine and that measurement is given on the understanding that the floats will be partially submerged in the fuel so I don't know how to translate that to an actual fuel level as measured by the clear tube method?

Cheers...
 
The factory Suzuki manual i have for the GS1100GLZ describes a specification for fuel level and where to measure from. It probably will vary with bike and carbs so you need to obtain that information from someone who has the correct service manual.
Maybe look in the first thread of this Forum "carb oem spec per factory manual". I believe some one is posting carb specs as they are donated and keeping them in one location.
