My carburetor float height was set too low resulting in fuel getting into the crankcase- thank you FOG for diagnosing that for me. I have set the height to 17 mm, with the floats resting LIGHTLY on the float valves, so that the little plunger is not depressed (correct?).
NOW the bike has a really bad flat spot between about 3500-6000 RPM.
Question: What happens if floats are set too high? I know if set too low it results in the fuel in oil problem I was having, but if they are set too high will there be a fuel-starving situation as there seems too be?
And FOG, before ya say it, no I stupidly did not clean the pilot jet, which I will this time around and in fact I'm headed to the auto parts store in a few minutes to get some supplies (and a fuel filter)!!!
Edit: Oh yea and the mixture screws are 2.5 turns out.
