How do you adjust the height of a float?
A low float height makes the bike run rich and a high height makes it run lean. If the float does not measure to spec, adjust it by bending the tang up to allow a higher float or down to lower the height. Tang: Metal adjustable tab that determines the height of the floats.
How do I adjust KTM float?

How is the height of a Mikuni float maintained?
Float height is maintained by a little, adjustable tab on the float arm. It doesn’t take much for that tab to be moved, which immediately changes the level of fuel in the float bowl. That tab can be relocated when disassembling the carb, or with rough handling of the float or float arm.
How do you measure float height on Carb?
Remove the float bowl and use a set of Vernier calipers or what’s even easier is a more precise digital caliper to make the measure based on the specs outlined in the service manual. The floats inside the carb vary in shape and appearance based on manufacturer but generally made from plastic and it’s what you measure to determine float height.

What happens when the float level is too high?
Float level is too high If the float height is too high, this will cause the fuel to rise to a level above the operational spec. If the fuel height is a bit too high and the bike is running, the engine will display a rich running condition, which will make the throttle response slow and the engine note muffled.
