This was posted awhile back, but never did see a response as where to measure from (CL77, 26mm carbs.). gasket surface, top of the slight ridge on the gasket surface, top of the recess cutout, or top of the bowl centering lip.

You've basically answered my question, so thank you. Couldn't figure out where you were trying to tell me to look, but that's alright; we're good.

EDIT: I should have added that I have one of the Pit Posse gages, so no need to fabricate a dedicated one for the CL77.
With all due respect, I was referring to the original post about fabricating the gage. In addition, I could not find the "HOW I TUNE" FAQ you were referring to; I am relatively new here and not familiar with the full layout of the site. And finally, not sure why you seemed to cop an attitude and act like a jerk when I was simply asking a civil question and trying to get some information.

Trust you have a nice (better) day. Thank you.

I don't add words that I don't think are necessary.
The FAQ is on the forum and in a YELLOW band on the left when you find it.
I also have a HONDA float measuring tool but don't need it as you will find why when you locate the FAQ.
There are several sections on this forum and each offers something.
There is a large section with pictures and how do's in there about your question also. ..............lm
