Is your ride bogging out over bumps, or dying when coming to a stop?<\/strong>\u00a0 Adjusting the float level may fix that.\u00a0 Our model in these picture is PD30J, however, this information applies to all GY6 carburetors.<\/p>\n

1. Flip over your carburetor<\/h2>\n

The float bowl should be oriented topside.<\/p>\n

\"20161003_154831\"<\/p>\n

2. Take note of how float internals are arranged<\/h2>\n

So you’ll remember how it goes back together.\u00a0 \"20161003_154957\"<\/p>\n

3. Use a pointed tool to push out the float pin<\/h2>\n

With the pin sticking out on one side, you can more easily grab and remove it. \"20161003_155123\"<\/p>\n

4. Free and remove the float\"20161003_155248\"<\/h2>\n

5. Make adjustments at the tab<\/h2>\n

The most common float-related problem is that the float level is set too high from the factory.\u00a0 This can cause bogging over bumpy terrain and dying out when coming to a stop.<\/p>\n

To lower the float level:<\/strong>\u00a0 Carefully bend the tab downwards<\/strong> slightly.<\/p>\n

To raise the float level:<\/strong> Carefully bend the tab upwards<\/strong> slightly.<\/p>\n

\"20161003_155610\"<\/p>\n

Important notes!<\/h2>\n

Important!<\/strong> Be sure to bend the tab only slightly.\u00a0 Small changes in the tab angle will equal out to big changes in the overall float level once reassembled.\u00a0 You may have to go through this process a few times to get the optimal level and riding performance.<\/p>\n

Important!<\/strong> During adjustments, the float should be oriented the same way as it came out of the carburetor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
