So the right carb was leaking, big time. Order new float valve and adjusted float per the book.
Still leaking. Adjusted float some more. Got leak stopped. But...no gas getting to right cylinder.

Called my master carburetor mechanic who had a super idea. Why not take the bowl off the other
carburetor and measure how the float is hanging. Big difference. Adjusted right float to match left
float geometry, reassembled everything, and voila - no leak and both cylinders firing.

Thanks Tim!

Of course Harry will havewn a negative comment, but that's to be expected.


Don't mind Fat Harry. He's just mad because you wouldn't ride in
his boat.

So you set the angle of the dangle. How does that affect the level
of the upside down float?

The distance the float hangs can easily be measured while the carb is mounted on the bike. I've no
idea why the Italians give the specs with the carb removed and placed a certain way on a surface.
Unreal.

But whatever. The damn thing runs on both cylinders now, and gas isn't puddling under it, so I'm
happy - 'til the next thing that goes wrong. The bike has never (knock on wood) been in the shop for
anything.
