Float Height Settings............Again !

It would appear the K Workshop Manual is misleading when it describes the point float heights should be measured from ?

The tollerance is between 6.5 and 8.5mm BELOW the measuring point (so 7.5mm is a good mid way point)................but WHICH measuring point A or B or C ??

Can someone who has done this recently confirm this please as I have always measured from C but maybe wrong ?

seems pretty straight forward to me. "From the bottom edge of the carburetor body" which from your diagram is "B"

That photo was submitted by someone else some time ago. Their yellow line corresponds to the fuel level in their site tube.......which is too high.
