125-200cc float height....

TMX 38mm on a 2010 wr 125. What is the float height and how is the measurement made.

My USB stick manual sucks A$$. What is "g 6,1" is that float height and what kind of measurement is it?

Please help. I can't find the info in the sticky area otherwise I would not be pestering!

Thanks, Tommy

Measurements are normally from carb base to the to lowest part of float.
tang resting on the plunger of the needle, not depressing it
i dont think Id touch it - try asking your local dealer ?
what was the issue you were having again ?

Sorry if its about the cackle
Have you tried a adjusting needle position to reduce cackle?
maybe its just normal - give throttle a twist and that'll fix it

I think the 6g is weight of float
is it fouling plugs?
I found this for WR 250 on Thumpertalk -

From Mukuni rep....check float with carb at 45 degress not to compress spring and a TMX38-2, or -5 that is 6-7mm height where the other TMX/TMS carbs are 18-22mm height from base of carb.

My 02 WR250 was fouling plugs like crazy...went down to 25 pilot with no real effect & had to go out 2.5-3 turns. Checked my float...was 14mm....adjusted to 20mm and now I have gone back to a 30 pilot with 1.5 turns out. Float height makes a difference--plus no overflow while bike is sitting which was a pain.

yeah. Thats what my issue was. fuel leaking out of carb whilst on kicking stand.How do I know if my carb is a -2 or -5?

RD; my float height was way off. Heading to 4000' this weekend to expect a smoother power delivery on the bottom end. Without the pilot jets that I need, it may still cackle a bit, but I'm sure the adjustment is going to have me gigglin' in me helmet!
