Being an engineer, ever considered that the spring loaded float needle helps to keep fuel levels more consistant?...........BTW, a 23mm setting will get ya close to the reccomended 3mm+-.5. Actually, the factory reccomended setting for the 81 and later carbs IS actual fuel levels while bike is idleing on the centerstand, which doesn't have bike level so shims are needed under one side of stand or other. Also, don't forget the the fore and aft being level too. A 2X4 under front tire will resolve this and will be equal to bike setting on both tires, level at the carbs. Makes a huge difference being level, both directions........BTDT....too.

I only had my bike level side to side, thats all ive ever heard of. I dont have a centerstand but i didnt know they had to be level front to back. It really dont seem like it would as long as the levels are the same cause the gas cant go anywhere like into another carb like side to side.Jeff
