Know there's a special tool. Rebuilt carbs and all floats were around same height. So installed floats at same height and put drop at correct level. Anyone have a measurement process or spec? Thanks

Those carburetor float adjustment tools will drive you up a wall. Now, as that very trustworthy carny at the circus said one time.... "Trust Me!"

With the carburetor body held upside down, the float being viewed from the side, adjust the float so that the free end of the float (the end opposite the hinge pin) is ever so slightly higher (just ever so slightly off level) than the other end. And when viewed from the end, make sure it is not cocked.
