Get the floats parallel to the gasket surface and you're in the
ballpark. Best way to set them is with the carb assembled and full of
gas. Take out the jet and look down the hole with a flashlight. You
should see the gasoline right at the cross drilled hole. it helps to
blow gently into the tube (don't put your lips on it, just blow
downwards gently) to push the gas down and then let it rise again. If
it's too high or low you'll see it immediately and you can re-set the
float accordingly.
