Don't muck it up, would be my advice. Take carby off if the float bowl screws won't come undone so you can stand it upside down and tap the end of the screws to loosen them. If that doesn't work then use a small pipe wrench.

A small vise grip works great on those (%$^(*! screws.

Default added sense of security

Well I got the float bowl extension on and all went well. I'm adding the depth for extra security and because a larger fuel valve was about half the cost of the full kit anyways. I can see a drag bike not needing it but with my thinking if I'm already running 85 and want to tag 130 real quick I may rish suckin the bowl to low. Not needing100% sure on that but just incase. Is that fxr all motor?
