Float height
Posted: Tue May 03, 2016 3:33 pm
Hi, new on here and just introduced myself in the "Introduction section".
Picked up a 1992 Seca II at a reasonable price, and pretty good condition. Main issue was it needed a Carb clean-up as it was sitting for 8 Years or so. Started just fine but dies on any Throttle input. Having rebuild quite a bit of carbs on two previous YZF600R, I figured it can't be much different, and it isn't as it turns out.
Having said that, I am a bit at a loss with the float height, the US version (this is a California model) should have a Mikuni 26 installed with a float height of 6 to 8mm (roughly), putting the carbs back together, they are all around 11.3 and 12mm, within specs of the European Mikuni 28 version. So either someone messed with it, or it has the wrong Carb (or is the California model like the European due to the EPA more strict in California). It's odd that they are all the same, like purposely set that way.
So, is there a way to make out the differences between the two different model, as I am unable look it up online, they both seem to look the same.
Thanks
