How do you adjust a plastic float to compensate? How does plastic dry out? These floats work fine. I've just compared them to floats in a known working CM400.

With low fuel levels, you can't sustain a wide-open or near wide-open throttle. The bike in fifth would reach about say 80 and then slump and only be able to sustain 75 at WOT. Pull in the clutch and wait about three seconds and you can repeat, reaching 80 then slumping as the fuel can't catch up.

The point is very simple, I just want the fuel level to be correct. Relative to the gasket surface, where should the fuel level be?
