WEBBER float level

Can anyone tell me what the correct float level should be for a 48mm webber, and how to check for this level?

Here you go.

When I had mine I made little gauges out of aluminium which made it a lot easier to check the level. Otherwise you have to stuff around with the calipers.

Just another tip, it helps to wedge a bit of rubber hose in between the float and the wall of the float bowl so it keeps it in place while checking the level.

Another tip:

Make sure your needle valve is a big number like 250 or 300. It works a lot better on a rotary. We use 300's in our racecars.
