    Default float height check 86 ZX1000A1

    what is the float height supposed to be on an 86 ZX1000A1 carb rack? I"m encountering an issue where fuel will dump out the intake side from those smaller jet holes, and the overflow tube as well as though the floats arent sealing at all.

    Thank you. I found 13mm somewhere, which sounded WAY THE EFF out in left field.

    oddly, kawi provides you with a float height gauge without realizing it. the oil filter bolt is a 17mm bolt, which is how I got all my floats to EXACTLY 17mm. I thought that was pretty neat. and before anyone asks, I have like 3 of nearly every part, so dont worry, the ol girl still has oil in her, I wouldnt DARE risk my 3 days straight of work by not runnin oil in her.
