1990 FLTCU. Service manual says set height of top of float to the flange at 0.725 inches. Seems I was way off at original setting, but had no issues in running except it was time for removing 30 years of gunk. I used a tire depth guage to measure, it only has 32nd and ml so I used 18.5 ml to get close to the 0.725 inches. Difficult to measure. Seems my original was around 15 ml. I find it hard to believe it was that far off. You tube says measure with carb at 30 degree angle, I saw none of that in service manual. Is something amiss?

Appreciate the replies and the confirmation I am going about it correct. I'm unsure how accurate I was on measure, so will confirm my setting by using the drain tube method as per previous reply.
