I have a 1988 175ETLG and I have rebuilt the Carb but my manual does not have the correct float information in it. It states one float for the two chambers but mine has two floats. I know they change carbs in 1988. So I need some help what is the correct measurement for the float height. If anyone has a manual that states the correct information it would be a BIG help!!

Re: Carb float adjustment height?

Thank you for your reply and the info. My Manual states 0.50 but what most of the manuals I have see do not tell you is that a V4 or V6 Yamaha in 1988 can have two different Carbs on them they can be Teikei (earlier models) or Nikki (later models). The 0.50 is for a Teikei which is a single float 2 barrel carb. The Nikki is a 2 float 2 barrel carb and I have the Nikki. I just found the setting for Nikki and it is 0.61"-0.65" I set mine at 0.625 which is level.
