There are plugs on carb. bowls, how do you check level? Manual shows some adapter to attach clear tube. Are they for sale?
Thanks.
I didn't find procedure to adjust floats w/o bowls.

Depends on the carbs. Some have a drain screw so you put your clear tube on the drain nipples. Others you need a tool buy a fitting or you can screw the tube in enough to seal then check the levels. I had to make my own out of the end of a mini mag light for my 33's.
