Brent,
I have adjusted my floats at 4.2mm top of float (not the rim) to the lower body surface. I use this self made tool to adjust the height.
This plate ,
with a screw in the center hole holded by two nuts , and with the tip of the screw pointed and rounded and set at 25.5mm from the bottom of the plate surface will be the stop which the tang of the float will hit. You pull the float up by using a fine bent wire and pull it up from one side.
I use this tool
to bend the tang without removing the float from the carb.
Here is how it looks like (forget the tube coming in from above, that was an experiment with gasoline and a needle valve)
Hope this helps.
Stefan
