Whatever the float height:

Remove bowls.
Invert carbs (thats upside-down to me & you :wink: )
Take weight off floats until they are only just touching needle valve (by tang)
Now measure from underside of carb body (metal casing where float bowl mates with body) to top of float (as they sit with carbs inverted)
You now have the float height. I think its around 20mm :?:
Do a search as this has been discussed before :wink:
And on the 7th day... Zeds were created!

my book says 26mm for 1979/1980. I assume you have the Mk2 engine ?

not sure if these 2 images will help. one shows how to measure float height (sorry about the crappy image). the other how to check fuel levels. this shows the std kawasaki tool but i made something up to simulate it.
