Everything aside from main jet size and needle codes is.

Both types of carbs are very similar.

Don't drill the slides or shim the needles, you shouldn't need it.

There easy enough to get back on once you know the technique.

It takes me about 2 minutes to put the carbs on if that.

The float heights should be 6.8mm.

Could be a leaking float if there overfuelling lots

apart from a visual (obvious damage to the float bowl) is there any other way to check them. cheers john

The carbs should shut themself off when they are full of petrol.

Since the tap is vaccum operated the fuel will shut off anyway.

If you put the carbs on a bench, use a pop-bottle etc for a temp fuel tank and fill the carbs up... they should stop taking petrol after a few seconds... if theres a leaking float, after a few minutes one of the carbs will be over-flowing.

Check the jets are clean / float heights are correct, pilot screws are set properly and the air filter is clean
