See if this Video will help you understand how to check.
Do this before any Carb adjustments.

Here is another video similar to what motorhead posted. But on my KZ carbs, which you will be more familiar with and in HD.
I use two methods of checking. But the clear tube method is shown. If any one of the levels are off, you will take the float bowl off and then the float itself off. Then adjust/bend in very small increments the tab on the float bowl. Please refer to your service manual to explain this adjustment. Afterwards, check with the clear tube method again.
