Hello again everyone. Got some questions that i haven't been able to find my self to ask.
On vm carbs is the way of checking float height with a sight gauge just the same as bs carbs attaching a clear hose abd checking the level. I dont think there are zerk fitting as large as the opening for the vms. What have yall found usefull? Im checking cause I’m getting a popping from a certain carb and am trying to hunt it down. Thought it was an airleak initially but upon spraying break clean around them nothing happens.

I have similar popping noise from carbs. After resetting my height the left one stopped my right one still goes. When feeling my exhaust the right one also feels colder than the left but both plugs are firing which leads me to believe my float setting is awry. The needles themselves bounce back pretty good and came with the vms I bought new.
