Float Height?

21-03-2010, 05:45 PM

Anyone happen to know what the correct float height is for my Mikuni BDST 38mm carbs, and can someone point me to (or tell me) how to set it?

Haynes manual a bit thin on detail (i.e. no info at all).

Cheers.

I think you'll find that Mikuni BDST38 CV carbs from Monster/SS have a float height of 14mm from the gasket base to the diamond shaped float with the carb tilted enough to get the float tab to touch but not compress the fuel shutoff valve.

this is a useful trick - bottom of page "Float height setting trick"
