my road rocket spec A10 fitted with 389 monobloc with extended float bowl revs up slightly if i lean it to the right if i lean it to the left on its side stand the revs falter and drop is the float height too high?,i had exactly the same thing on a B40 i once had,i changed the carb on the B40 to a concentric and the problem stopped so i assume it is the monobloc causing this does anyone know?   cheers baz

 G'day Baz,
               that sounds about right for a mono, as the float being on the side it will be rich one way and lean the other. Best off tuning with bike on ctr stand. The extension will make it worse, take it off and see if it improves.
