Reference for float height adjustment? 76 KZ900

Hello lads,

Seeking but not finding some reference for the float heights for 26mm Mikunis, dual inlet, no accelerator pump. I believe these are appropriate for a 76 KZ900 among others.

Does anybody know it?

TIA for the assistance,

N.

Do the clear tube test...I have found that not all float neddles are the same. One may take more gas to shut off then others.
If a spring is softer it will take more gas to close it and the level will end up on the high side.
If the spring is harder it will take less gas to close it and the level will end up on the low side
