I've built RD's for the street that made about a hunnert hp. The question is for how long did thay make a 100 horsepower! I love the old RDs (mine was great until it blew up, and blew up, and blew up) but I'd much prefer an RZ. In fact here is one for sale right now. http://seattle.craigslist.org/s...

The motor shares a lot of parts and technology with the Banshee, the Fazer snowmobile, a couple of watercraft, and numberous motorcycles. Parts are out there. I have two SR500's. People ask where I get parts for it. It's really no probl...

John
I realize this is an Ace and not an FZR. But did you say that your floats are set at 8mm?
Or that your fuel level is set at 8mm?
And by the way, you've perfectly described how I set floats. Teh turning the carb till the float hangs bit. Bravo!

Yup. Drive gear in front wheel. If the tangs are broken or worn off....it won't turn the cable. Teh easy way to see is take the cable off the back of the spedo. hang it where you can see it andride around the block If the inner is turning you got other problems. If not it's the drive gear in the fro...

If idle is 4k, you have an air leak. look at the diaphram for the leak. or an overtightened manifold rubber or something interfereing with the throttle linkage....
Of course your pilot air screws are all at 2.5 turns out from LIGHTLY bottomed. Right???

See the tang that sets the float height? are they the same? Now....there are two things that it may be. Swap the floats and tell me if they (the float) is still high but only on a different carb body. If it is, then have a look at the needle. You could have a different one. If that's the case...whip...

Can't see what you're talking about.
Might be the pain pills though...
Can you take a shot that shows the height of each float.
Like from the pin side...so the gasket surface is horizontal and the floars are sticking up
