Te 300 - Petrol issues

Hi, I've recently purchased a Husqvarna Te 300 2014 and I have had the bike for approximately 2 months. I've noticed that I run out of fuel quicker than any of my other friends I go out with, but I have a bigger tank capacity than they do... (they ride a beta rr 2014) I was just wondering if this is a common fault with the te 300 and if there is anything I could do to resolve the problem? Thanks in advance and any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Regards Cai

Haha, thanks mate and to you! yes, you are right.. my mistake. Thanks for that.

check your float height and set it at the minimum out of the box my TE300 got 12-15 MPG, the float height was stupid high. If I tipped the bike onto the kickstand it would leak from the vent/drain/overflow line

Cheers for the advice mate. I had my carb off last weekend because I had the same issue but worst, it would leak whilst it was ticking over so I reduced it and that stopped it. But to be honest with you, I don't really know what I am doing when it comes to adjusting the float height... any key tips on how you would usually do it?
Thanks again.

plagerized from KTM talk with this citation, with some editing to omit the setting for the older carbs, our Huskys have the latest Keihin.

"On the newer "flat top" carbs this measurement is 6.5 MM.
Now with the rather large mounting angle on KTM's I suggest that the final float measurements be from 1 to 2 MM more, i.e. 7.5 to 8.5 MM . Do not go more than this.

Use a depth gauge or vernier caliper if you have one but it may be easier to make a depth gauge out of plastic from a milk jug or compressed cardboard like from a juice or pizza box, etc.

Make sure the floats are parallel and that one float is not higher than the other. This sometimes happens if the floats are roughly handled or dropped."

Mine is @8mm its hard science to get it exact, of course the lower the number the higher the float height, out of the box mine was closer to 6mm.

ok then mate, I will try that.. I'll let you know how it goes! Thanks very much

Robertaccio, you couldn't tell me the minimum float level for a husquvarna te 300 2014? (standard jetting) I couldn't find it in my owners manual and struggling to find it on the internet...
