The float controls how much fuel enters the carb bowl, and if it’s set too high, it can cause excess fuel to flow into the carb, leading to flooding. To set the float height, you’ll need to remove the carb from your bike, measure the float’s height from the carb body, and adjust it according to the manufacturer’s specifications.

Improper float height isn’t the only reason carbs flood. Dirty jets, damaged seals, or a clogged needle valve can also cause flooding. If you’re not familiar with carb maintenance, it’s best to let a professional handle the job. At our shop, we specialize in ultrasonic carb cleaning, which removes debris and fuel varnish from even the smallest passages, ensuring that your carb functions like new.
