Ignition coil life?

After all that it’s the fuel level in the #3 float bowl, that’ll teach me for assuming!!

Can’t be bothered with it tonight, carbs out again in the morning. Any easy shortcuts to setting this up?

On the plus side, this morning we put a deposit on another bike. This one might still end up in the river 😆

Why did you adjust the float levels?

I didn’t. But I didn’t check them either, just drained them

unfazed:
Very unusual for float levels to be out on the 600, unless somebody before you tampered with them or replaced the float valves with spurious one. Did you use a clear pipe to check the levels? If so it can be easy to get it wrong. When you open the float drain to fill the pipe you may get an air bubbles and put the reading off. With a long pipe and it has filled lift it up tap it a few times and then drop it down below where you had it. This will normally dislodge any air bubbles.

Cheers for the reply I’m on it. Just tweaked the little tang and refilled in the bench with the aid of spirit levels etc. I’ve already noticed the bubble issue you mentioned but we’re getting there, a mm or so within the mating surface now so a cuppa now while they’re draining. The only concern is if that bubble was there when it was tested on the bike I may still be chasing a non-problem 🤬

It was previously examined by a ‘professional’ due to time restrictions. Hoping this is it sorted because the bike needs to be gone soon
