float height


Recommended Posts

33 keihin pwk, any one know what the correct float height is in mm or is just getting the seam of the floats parallel with the bowl surface good enough? tried to read on keihin website, but cant open it. just changed the main jet to a 168 and a dual pingal valve becouse it was runnig out of fuel. wanted to get the float height correct before getting er back together.

What do you have for mods that require a 168 main. That is pretty big for dual pwk's. Most guys running cubs with pwks are in the 155 range.

they come with 165 mains in 33 pwk's out of the box,its a 350 hotrod crank,ported, cool head with 19cc domes,50 0ver with wisecos, and runs pretty good.

It could be your float hight is messed up but that is pretty big jetting. I was just wondering if your running out of gas feeling wasnt being caused by to big of main jet.

 

What Needles you got in it. Again most people swap them out for CEL's

im not sure exactly, what ever they come with out of the box,48CGL? do you have the same carbs? didnt they come with 165 mains? on keihin website thats what they say they come with and thats what mine had in them. should i just leave it and try it now that i have good volume of fuel now? i still need to set the floats though.

ok i think your right on the jetting maybe thats why this bike wont rev,makes killer power down low,but you got shift it like a 4 stroke, what elevation are you at? im riding at sea leval, i know that if you are higher that you would run your bike a lot leaner on jetting. thanks alot for the help trying to get ready for the dunes, leaving on this thursday.cant let my buddys 4 stroke beet me haha!

I am at 2000 ft. I would start out at 160 and go down from there.

ok thanks for the info i really appreciate it, for now i put the 165s back in and will do a plug check at the sand when i get there,beings that i have fuel to them now, i think that i thought it was runnig lean,but in theary it was do to runnig out of fuel in the bowls. i will get some 160s just in case.
