    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...

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.

Ok so I have the bs34ss carbs in my 81 450, and I'm in the process of cleaning them/reassembly. I'm trying to check the float level, but I'm not sure what spot in the float im supposed to measure too. The guide on BassCliff's site is for different carbs using different floats. Mine look like these:

What part of the float am I suppose to measure to? Sorry if this has been addressed before, I just cant find the info I need (even after doing a search)
 
Measure from the carb body where the float bowl attaches (without the gasket) to the top of the float disc.
 
thank you very much. I thought that might have been the correct way, but when I measured it, i got 27.3mm. My bike is supposed to be at 23mm (+/-1mm). So I guess my floats are just way off then
 
Just bend the metal bit to adjust them. Make sure you measure both sides to keep them level.

Then do a wet test with the tube/plug tool to confirm the height.
