More information:
The carb with the highest level of fuel in the fuel bowl, has the lowest
level of fuel in the jet.
I have switched bowls. I moved the lids and floats from one to the
other. The problem stayed with the rear carb.
I weighed the floats, they are the same to the accuracy of my scale - 7
grams.
I took one lid and float and moved it between the 2 carbs. The back car
still had a much lower level in the jet even though it had the highest
level in the bowl.
When I changed bowls I made sure there was not an obstruction in the
hole that the jet tubing goes into.
I know the engine sits at a bit of an angle with the back being a bit
lower. But it seems the carbs are create separate systems, so the fuel
level should be closer between the two than what I can get.
Thanks,
Roger
