in case anyone wanted an update, i sent the carbs to ducatiman and he realized there are two thick shims on the needles. don’t know why they were put on there as everything else looks stock. so he’s leaving them off in an effort to reduce the number of things that could be causing me problems. The float assembly/float valves still seem to be my main (only?) problem.

I changed the oil and what do ya know it was filled with tons of gasoline. and the airbox has some oil in it because of so much gas in the engine spilling everything out through the crankcase hole.

on another note, while changing the oil in my driveway i learned that, in a panic to get rid of a small oil stain on the concrete (because the oil sprayed out of the drain plug like it was a pressure washer because it was so thinned with gas), you shouldn’t spray it down with the hose. because then, instead of a small black spot, you have a very large brown stain going all the way down the driveway. dammit lol.
