Tried google again, but this time drilled down into the results further and well, the Haynes manual is right, both the cv and teikei carbs use the same fuel level ( 11-12 mm below carb body interface) although the manual doesn't mention the xt having a slide carb in 86-87! so ive lowered the fuel level to 12 mm , raised the needle one notch to richen it slightly and all is well.

Superb Jimmy, excellent diagram and I've saved the link too ! Thanks, brilliant.

I wish I could! Heading down to Dorset in the camper and we leave sat morning. Really bad planning I know ☹️

Thanks for your help, I'm waiting for the new seal and then I'll do some fuel level / height checks once it's off. Dave

Thanks, great tip regarding using the jet depth as a guide, I've never heard of that. Cheers

I have an '86 tk carb on a later bike but can't find float height for it. It seems to be above the float bowl to main body seal ! It therefore leaks and I'm going to change the seal next week . I'd just like confirmation that the level can sometimes be above the gasket, I've never come across that before. Thanks in advance, Dave ps. I'm going to put a small washer under the needle to richen it rather than changing the jets.

Sorry for the absence, I've been struggling with the website security questions ! The bike is only for road use and therefore has (Avon!) Road riders on. My wife generally rides it but we also stick it in the motorhome for hols and I ride it two up. So, ideally want a single disc set up, but not a 2 disc type converted to one as I imagine that would be too grabby also. Rather than scour the Internet trying to work out what's suitable I assume one or two of you have done something similar ? Thanks in anticipation Been looking at kawasaki ER5 brake system (complete) on eBay, might have a punt !

I'm wanting to fit a better front brake and wondered what options there are. I don't want to totally overwhelm the front end so maybe a cbr600 caliper but then I'd need a different master cylinder, so maybe not ! Any suggestions please!

As it says really, we're going to use the bike two up so in desperate need of rear brackets, I can probably fit any type of peg, I'm happy to borrow them , copy and return if necessary. Please help, I'm in West Yorkshire, Dave

Scrub that ! It looks like maybe an '86-'87 model carb, I have to decide now what jets I want as I'm doing the exhaust ( hole cutter) and air box mod, hmm!

It looks like I've bought an 225 with a 350 carb on it, has anyone heard of this as a mod or am I just unlucky ? If there's any experts on the 350 I'll post some pictures, I've looked for the stamp code and can't find a thing, help, please, Dave

Bit of a wild shot this but I need the rear footpeg brackets for my serow and would therefore like to borrow a pair and get some made! Can anyone help please ? Dave, Mirfield. 07793662919

Right, I don't really want to do another strip, it's summer and we all have things to do ! I'll buy larger pilot and see what happens, thanks for badgering me.

I'll check the left hand seal again this weekend more thoroughly and then maybe strip it, or sell it !

I'm in Mirfield, West Yorkshire, I looked at the link, great idea, if you're not local ( I don't mean will you do it !) I could make one myself. Just a thought, wouldn't the gearbox oil froth up (and burn) if the right hand seal was leaking ?
