If you want a free copy of the manual, pm me your email address and I'll send you a copy. The float height measurement is only to get things in the ballpark prior to doing the clear tube method.

Everyone has answered correctly, but missing your original questions answer. So check the service manual in my signature it will have the BS34 carbs in it. It will tell you both the Dry Height adjustment, as well as the Clear Tube test dimension.
