Carb angle?

Post by steve murdoch icoa #5322 »

When on the bike, what is the angle of the carbs? 30ish?
Just trying another set-up for float height adjustment.

That's close enough - doesn't have to be the exact angle, just very close to 15.5mm level. I do angle mine when wet testing though.

Nothing to do with the workbench being covered in junk.
Actually, have a hip that has turned to mush so for a lot of things i have to sit while working on them.
Leak test is definitely done outside.

Umm.
I'm really digging that carb holder thingy. :face:
What is it and where did you get it?

P.S. That work space is sweet!

Mouse, it is a bench stand for bicycles.
I saw one for the first time a couple years ago at a bicycle swap meet. I got this used one for around $25.00
They can be bolted/screwed or clamped to a myriad of surfaces.
Like anything there are a huge variety of them. Height adjustable, rotational, metal or plastic clamping jaws.

:doh:
Well smack me upside the head with a 2x4.
My nephews have been successfully competing in Mountain Bike racing for the last few years, so I have seen lots of bike stands. Heck, I've got one myself in the garage, so I should have recognised it but, I've never yet encountered a bench version. Great job of re- purposing. :D
