float

Just wondering here about end float? Just rebuilding a 628cc crank and about to check and adjust if need be the axial play. My other engines have always been around .75-.85mm without any adjustment and run perfectly. A quick measure of this engine ands its just over 1mm. What are the...

There is plenty of information throughout this site relating to checking & setting crankshaft end float on 01 to 08 engines but i cant find anything on the 98 to 00 engines where a roller bearing has been retrofitted in place of a ball bearing. It is suggested that axial play on the 01 to 08...

Does anyone know the proper weight reject specification for the float in a Keihin FCR MX 41, which my 2007 FE550e came with? Or perhaps some kind soul has a new one and will weigh it and reply? I am used to defining float serviceability reject criteria by weight, as per...

After completely ignoring this setting I though I better get it set up. I've read it's 9mm. I watched a few YouTube videos and no one does it the same. I get the whole make the float plastic float just touch the float valve damper but not compress it. But what they don't get is where the...

Does any one know what size float needle and float needle seat is used on the 2007 FE450 FCR-MX 39 carb? I've seen 3.8 and 3.2 for these carbs. :help:

Hey all, Getting ready to put my project all back together soon, and I've got a brand new crank to throw in my cases, just wondering about the left hand side/primary drive side shim between the balancer and main bearing inner race. I know how to shim the right hand side to allow the right...

07 FE450 I am having issues getting my bike running after fiddling w/ the carb. It starts on choke and I can even adjust the idle very low, but when I take the choke off I can barely get it to run. I can get it to start if I give it a few throttle twists before hitting the starter. It will...

Trying to set the float level on my Dellorto, from what I have read the metal should be parallel to the gasket surface.Is this when the needle is seated? What is the tab you see in the picture with the red arrow is this suppose to be making contact with the needle? This is how I found the tab...

Hi All, This is an interesting one, if you check your float height on a FCR by the down load official manual it says the float must be parallel to the carb body, if you go to the Keihin carb site the float height is set at 9mm, they are not the same. If you go by the manual when the float...

can anyone tell me the correct crank float on the 07 and 08 bergs. I want to check some new bikes by taking off the ignition cover and measuring the float against correct specs. Also how are people checking valve clearance on the 07 and 08 bergs. Are you using feeler guages or some much of...

Can any body tell me how much end float there should be on the output gear shaft 550 04. Sparks.

By the way does anyone know what the main bearing float/ play shoud be. We know it needs to be set right and not too tight, but what is the measurement??

Anyone know where I can buy a new float for my 2002 FX650 delortto? there are two separate floats and one of them leaks around the seam. Tried to seal it but no luck. All the dealers here in New Zealand come back with "sorry unavailable" Pretty sure it's the cause of the hard starting! Oh, while...
