Help Nightmare FZR carbs/fuel system

Would that be 6.5mm all the way though?

 

looks like it's not sitting correctly, I wonder if that's from when I pulled it off in the past and did not install it correctly. Either way, I'd be happy to get any spooge out of the fuel system asap

 

Sometimes I should listen to myself
Pulled the carbs last night, the manifold boots are pretty solid, does not look like there are any cracks that go all the way though, however since I have them I may as well replace them.

Turns out the carbs are pretty clean so far (after removing the glue)
Except some discoloration in the steel of the float bowls they are cleaner than I expected



Under the floats themselves there is some granulated rust and the seal surfaces need to be cleaned. However I'll still do the needles since I've brought them and probably are 28 years old



So far I've pulled the float bowls off, seperated all the carbs and ground a screw head off (don't ask)
The T piece was not broken (it kinda looks shorter than it's meant to be so may be from something else), however the little seal bits on there ends ended up ripping getting the glue off, so luckily I have that coming.

Just have to wait on parts now.....

 

So parts Christmas has happened (don't get me started on the courier company)
So far all I'm waiting on is fuel line then I should be good to go.
I've pulled one carb down and rebuilt her, disassembled one other. have not found anything too bad except for one of the butterfly plates being a complete pain to get out and a bent needle (not sure how the old needle is going to go with the new slot thingy but we'll see)



Old filter vs new filter



new Fuel pump and carb boots



In terms of adjustment, whats the go, I can see we have the mixture and idle screws, but what about float etc

 

Yeah the float hight was a bit of head scracher as it took a while to figure out what it meant.

I used the old needle as I installed the new one incorrectly and bent it, not my proudest moment but it does not looke like they are too worn. I might grab the tube and needle out of the other one in case I run into problems

Didnt think to check the jet numbers

 

Ah ok, will that make a big impact if I have 3 keyster and 1 orginal?

I checked the boxes, they say they are bigger on the outside ones so I'll check them tomorrow and see whats printed on the jets, though the orginals have no numbers

 

Yeah no numbers on those jets. Look around the same size.

Hopefully should have her started today

 

So got them togeather, synced them by eye (nothing to use as a feeler gauge) and attched them to the bike. Turned it over and got nothing for a few secounds untill fuell started gushing out of the float breather on one side and the too of the carb; turns out I absolutly screwed uo the float hight. After a remeasure and adjustment she started, screwed the mixture screw in half a turn then either in or out a quarter turn and she ran sweet off of the gas can.

Think im still going to find bigger fuel line from the peacock to the tap cause after outting the tank back on she runs a little rough (though like an idiot I set the exup AFTER tuning the carbs)

Hopefully be able to take her for a ride next few weekends and see how she handles actual riding

 

My question is, does anyone have the skill or knowledge to make a remote float adjustment setup so you could mount them in a easier to reach place?

 

Im hoping the card trick has worked
Im getting a tiny bit of smoke out of the tail pipe, couls that be related to tuneing?
