Sure, absolutely, start there
But unless the floats are of equal volume/mass the fuel levels will vary and this will cause uneven fuelling between  the cylinders

I set mine up on the bench, with fuel in, and plastic tubes to get the levels equal - (not my images)

Hi again, can anyone tell me what the float level is for the black poly plastic floats. They appear different in shape to the brass floats. I saw a youtube video that said 22mm but I wanted to confirm.
Regards
