| + | There is a brass baffle in the DC-7 float bowl on the left in the pic below. The DC-12 (right) does not have one. \\ | ||
| + | The baffle helps arrest an rare-ish annoying Linkert trait. \\ | ||
| + | |||
| + | If your moving at high speed and you grab all the binders you can in order set up for a tight corner; ((Dr Dick of the XLFORUM http://xlforum.net/forums/showthread.php?t=1762899)) \\ | ||
| + | The fuel sloshes to the front of the bowl opposite of the bowl vent tube. \\ | ||
| + | As you stand the bike back up and peg the throttle (wot), the fuel now sloshes over to the opposite end of the float chamber. \\ | ||
| + | (where it enters the top of the vent tube and exits the carb (spraying the rider, you will smell it). \\ | ||
| + | In extreme cases, if your hanging off the right side of bike, you can get a face full of hi-test. \\ | ||

| - Secondly and more importantly, these carbs are very susceptible to errant low speed metering as fuel composition, barometric pressure, humidity, and air temperature vary. Trying to hit the sweet spot requires many float adjustments, idle mixture settings, idle speed settings and road tests. To do away with that wasted time and aggravation, I fit all my side bowl carbs with an externally adjustable float level. Now I can change float level on a whim.((DR DICK of the XLFORUM http://xlforum.net/forums/showthread.php?t=1993187&highlight=linkert)) | - Secondly and more importantly, these carbs are very susceptible to errant low speed metering as fuel composition, barometric pressure, humidity, and air temperature vary.
