I have a late 70s Kawasaki KV 75.
It had a dirty carbureter and the float had a pin hole in it. I cleaned the carburetor and installed a new float and needle and seat. I adjusted the float height as per my instructions. Roughly 21 mm measuring without the bowl gasket in place. I even checked the fuel height which is around 5 mm below the gasket surface. Fresh fuel mixed at 40:1. Oil injection not hooked up. New spark plug and air filter in place during testing.
My issue is.... it starts right up but bogs out. I have had the carb off more times then I want to mention and always the same. Starts but won't take throtle without bogging. If I turn the fuel valve off and let it start to run out of fuel..... it will then Rev out. So to me that says I am getting way to much fuel ???? I am very mechanically inclined but this bike is makin me feel pretty stupid. LOl. Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated .
