The mating surface of the bowl and body. 2-4mm. So aim for 3mm.

if curius on what the float height is i did this test .It is a very good test to check if the float valve leaks and at what height the floatvalve opens.My carbs had a height at 25mm at 25,5mm they leak.
Here is a link to the test i use from themotorcyclemd .

Thanks Ed. I couldn't decide if the FSM was referring to the bottom of the body or the top edge of the float bowl. And then I started overthinking it...

The Z1 'White' FSM reads "About 1/8" " there. The ambiguous "About" always drove slmjim nuts. Still does.
