How long should a tank last

<< < (2/2)

Suicycle:
on checking the float i asked paul.........who directed me to the idiot mechanic who set up the bike when i bought it.  that guy didn't know squat.  basically i took off the bowl and found the float needle kind of suspended by a clip on a little tab.  i bent that tab ever so slightly up......dont remember which way i was holding it.  but i wanted the stubby needle to bottom out quicker when put back in.  the tab might be an eighth inch wide and i only maybe bent it 1/16 or lessat the end of it.

trial and error worked first time.  now i can put the bike on the stand and fuel doesn't drip out when i pick it up.  i can hold the front break and lay it over to about a 45 degree angle and fuel barely starts to drip.  made a major difference in miledge......cause i wheelie all the time and powerslide through turns.
