    FREAKIN' GENIUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    btw my FSM say's float height should be set at 24.7-26.7mm (0.972-1.051")
    Way too high! Your ARE gonna have running issues if not following the 23mm KNOWN correct setting for the later carbs(80-82XJ's/84Canadian).

    BTW, must be lookin' at wrong yr. FMS.
    81H Venturer1100 "The Bentley" (on steroids) 97 Yamaha YZ250(age reducer) 92 Honda ST1100 "Twisty"(touring rocket) Age is relative to the number of seconds counted 'airing' out an 85ft. table-top.
