Typical float setting is tang position that maintains fuel level at 2~4mm below carb body.

Clear tube test is best method to assure fuel level.

Example shown below is Mikuni 29mm smoothbore carb.

Good Fortune! :)

Same as he said about the clear tube method but with a different pic...



This is on ebay for about $11 including shipping. Works excellant!
