In carburetors, fuel fills the carburetor bowl and is then supplied to the jets. There is a specific level maintained to ensure a consistent fuel supply to the jets, adjusted by a float. As the bowl fills, the float rises and closes the valve that supplies fuel. Then, as the fuel is consumed, the level drops, the float descends, and this opens the valve again to replenish the fuel, maintaining seamless engine operation.

 

Float Hight is too high: 

If the float height is set too high, it raises the fuel level in the carburetor bowl excessively. When raised too high, fuel can leak into the engine uncontrollably, causing a rich condition. Additionally, a float level that is too high can cause fuel to flow from the slow jet at wide open throttle, which is abnormal.

​

Under normal conditions, when the throttle is engaged beyond 25%, the fuel level in the float bowl drops, cutting off the supply to the pilot jet. When the throttle is released, the fuel level rises again, restarting the supply to the pilot jet, allowing the motorcycle to idle smoothly. This balance ensures consistent engine performance.

​

Float level is too low: If the float level is set too low, the carburetor bowl may not replenish enough fuel to reach the main jet during high speeds. This can lead to sudden power drops or hiccups at full throttle. Additionally, a low float height can result in the engine running leaner, causing the spark plug color to appear white. Adjusting the float level ensures consistent fuel delivery and optimal engine performance at all speeds.

​

Adjustment rules: 

​

Rule No.1: On most carburetors, the float height is set adjacent to the carburetor body. However, this height can vary from one motorcycle to another. To ensure precise adjustment, always refer to the service manual for your specific motorcycle model. This ensures proper float height setting and optimal engine performance.

​

Rule No.2: Position the carburetor with the float side facing right, then tilt it to the left at a 45-degree angle. Most carburetors are adjusted in this position because at this angle, the float hangs freely, allowing for easier and more accurate adjustment of the float height.
