Setting bts38 float heights

[martyngsxr]

Looking at the Haynes manual for the float heights on the project 750m and it tells you the measurement is 14.7 from the carb body to the top of the float which I get but it then tells you that the carb should be upside down when this measurement is done is this correct or have they got it wrong

This is right,

it's so the floats are resting on the needles and closing them, i.e. Your setting the floats at the highest point of fuel in the bowls before it starts flooding

Best way to measure floats is to tilt the carbs back until the floats tab stops against the little retractable pin on float needle. 

Basically you measure the height without the floats weight pushing down on the float needle. The little tab RESTS against the float needle.

That's a better way of putting it
