Working on my 77 standard. Noticed fuel in the drain hoses. Looked at the heights and they checked out to 24mm. Thought about raising them. With the bowls off, I inverted the carbs. At this point I noticed that one float lowered so much that the float needle almosts comes out. Flipping upside down reveals the carb float and needle sticking into place. The other carb does not do this. The errant float seems to have more travel than the other. I swapped floats with the good carb and determined that the posts on that carb might be worn down. Anyone have to deal with this or have any advice on how to reduce the travel? I've attached pic of what the float is doing.
