Deebs nailed it on the best way to check float height, this will give you a no nonsense view on exactly where that float is sitting. -
That there was. Twice. First time I thought I had flipped petcock incorrectly. THis time there wasn't a question as they were just at "ON" as I have always run my bike and I could see the drip and the fuel stain on the garage floor.
Might I ask you what you'd suggest to cure that? The repair?

If there is fuel in airbox, then the float valve(s) in the carb bowl(s) are not sealing, causing an over-rich condition.Leave a comment:

So ...need a bit of direction-was carbs, not coil pick up
... causing bogging. Battery responsible for tach problem
So after replacing the battery my tach works fine now. HOWEVER as I had mentioned a bogging problem previously and was pointed towards the coil pick up as having a broken wire. Nope.
I was unable to find a broken wire that when I pulled on it the bike would/should die. Gave up on trying to find that and put it back together. BUT WHAT I DID find was after bringing it back after a very short ride before it started to bog again was returning two hours later I found a LARGE SPOT where fuel had been leaking which ran into and leaked out of of the air box.
So I removed the airbox and the carbs.
I spent a ****load of time trying to troubleshoot the tach and the bogging. Hoping some whiz with these things can point me in the right direction rather than another Snipe hunt.
Thanks.
