Welcome to the forum, Moritz

How great you must feel as you work on your dad's bike, especially as you remember him.... Have fun and enjoy this process.

Thats a good one.... once you get those carbs cleaned up and rebuilt with all new soft stuff inside, and then sync them up correctly, you should be good to go. Have fun and I'm glad to help you get your bike back out on the road again.

Thanks Craig - the #250 float needle valve is for PHF carbs. For PHM carbs the #300 float needle valve is used. https://store.bevelheaven.com/Dellorto/Float-Needle-Valve-300/ And, I am out of stock on the float gauges but some vernier calipers will do the job well. Adjust float height to 18mm +/- 0....

take the clutch cover off and make sure that the sometimes present nut inside is removed.... Other than that, if you have the PLASTIC gland nut, unless it is leaking oil just leave it in place and replace the gland nut grommet only. Do know that if you snap that gland nut, I sell the components indi...
