    I just need to get a grasp on where they should be roughly, so when I get my new drain screws in, I can have a baseline to start with.

    Which way is best to look at them, I assume with the carbs upside down so the tang is resting on the float pin?

    Pics would help me greatly!

    Thanks guys.

    Correct upside down is how you look at them. I usually set them so they are straight with the line of the carb body. If you look at them from the side. That gets them close.

    Hmm, so holding upside-down... mine (if I remember right from earlier) were actually hanging further into the carb body, than the bowl. So if that is where they are - my fuel levels will be too HIGH, not low, right?

    correct. Someone correct me if I am wrong. I don't want to be giving bad advice... But that should be correct.
