Float Height: Reference points for proper level?

Hey, all,

I've been getting a little overflow from my FCR on my '07 TE250, and I want to adjust the float height--what reference point am I using for the correct level?

I'm pretty clear on how to check the level: loop the overflow hose upwards, open the drain screw, and look at where the level rises to in the overflow tube. I just don't know where it should line up to

Thanks in advance!

Thanks, Dean. That's just the pic I was looking for!

thanks dfeckel, i was searching how to check my float level, how easy is that!!
can someone explain how to adjust it, mine is low, as i thought, it stalls idling down very steep hills, thanks heaps.

To adjust, you need to take off the float bowl and float. The little metal tab that pushes up the float valve has to be literally bent one way or the other to adjust the level. If your level is too high, then you need to bend the tab UP so that it closes the valve earlier. If your level is too low, then you need to bend the tab DOWN so it closes the valve later.

you can also find Keihin specs on line,,,I did a while back, I think sudco has an online FCR manual.
