Float height/ Rich midrange
Hi all,
Just done a run on the dyno and come back with a rich midrange so going to fit the standard needles and washer as I have aftermarket ones in at present. Was also thinking of adjusting the float heights from 6.8mm as per the manual to 7.5mm to help lean it out a bit. Has anyone had experience of this, is it worth doing or better to stick with adjusting the height of the needles?
Here's my printout..

Cheers.

Re: Float height/ Rich midrange
I would just do the needles first(do one adjustment at a time), the float height is the last thing to alter if still having problems at low rpm or cruise when you are just on the throttle.
