Can you tell me the model number of your carb? any other info would help, pic's of the carb would help!
Hatch.

 

should i try to set the bowl even lower?

 

Check out www.nightrider.com for some cv carb adjustment tips.

 

Stat over. Step 1: Are you getting a good seal when you put the cv back on the manifold? If it's sucking air, it won't work.

 

Also there is a lot of info over in the Sporty section of the forum.

 

alright well for those of you wondering i got it all fixed. Since I did everything up here in college i didnt exactly have all the tools I would need. although I cleaned the carb, the ports the best i could, I didn't have any compressed air. well turns out one of the air ports on the face of the carb was badly blocked, probably from that shitty ethanol fuel residue sitting in there while i was rebuilding the engine. One shot of compressed air and all the crap came flying out, put the carb back together, and double checked the float leve, carb tuned up in under 15 minutes now its running brand new!
