B31 1949

[Pete Gill]

I made a crude Perspex replica of the monobloc float chamber cover. Ensuring the dimple is marked in the precise location below the name. I'm informed the fuel level should coincide with the dimple. So is this a bit low? I'm considering shims.

Looks like a nice way to do this.
Assuming your float moves nicely can't you bend the little brass tab on the float, or even trim the length of the float needle (on the side that the float tab touches!!)
Does not look desperately off.

Is the carb actually on the manifold during this measurement?

No the carb was off the head at the time.i was careful to hold it vertically. As  you are probably aware the monobloc is not actually the correct fitment for the bike ( I think a GP carb was the original) and getting the float cover off not possible when attached to the head.
I will hold onto this for now as I'm unlikely to get this bike out again this year - other irons in the fire.
I'll update next spring! I would like to get the fuel level raised a little just to see if it changes things.
