Your float lids may be frm later SU's like mine (FZX1122). The float
level is adjusted by the thickness of the washers used on the needle
valve seat. Pull the pivot pin for the float, and then you'll be able
to remove the float and see the needle valve and seat. The seat has a
hex so it's easy to remove. If you're lucky, the 1/4" one will have more
than 1 washer, so you'll be able to adjust the seat by removing one. If
you're unlucky, you'll need to order thinner washers.
Hope this helps.

Hi Everyone.
I have a 80 Spitfire that I have put dual SU HS4s on. I have 2
questions.
(snip)
2. The floats all seem to be solid plastic now. So there is no metal
tab to adjust the float level. I have 2 different references for my
carb. One says the float level should be 1/8 the other says 3/16.
Well, on mine I have 3/16 and 1/4. I see no way of adjusting them.
What is correct? I tried switching the floats and even tried a
different float the problem persists.
Thanks,
Roger
