That will make everything a bit leaner, you might have to go to a bigger main to compensate for top end mixture.

Guess it's time to jet it up and try to find that sweet spot I've been looking for all this time.

the fuel level is within specs.
A specific dry measured float height is not the objective
The objective is achieving correct fuel level when the carbs are being supplied with fuel.
This is referred to as the "service" fuel level.
Good Fortune!

I am using a PWK35 flat slide single carb. Unfortunately I cannot measure the float height with a clear tube because I do not have the necessary adapter.

The special tool "adapter" isn't necessary.
Just use the bottom plug screw hole, same as clear tube testing smoothbores with the similar bottom plug.
Fashion a rubber plug/grommet arrangement whereby gasoline feeds into the clear tube through the bottom hole without excessive leakage.
A short section of oil line hose or a rubber grommet -- I use a cone shaped rubber grommet with a hole through it --with the clear tube snugly fitted inside.
Absent the actual true fuel level being within specs, further carb tuning efforts are futile.
Good Fortune!
