Bryanj:
Found this page among my stuff and thought it might be helpfull

Bryanj:
Dont know how i managed two uploads! and it doesnt have our most popular models in the list, hey ho thats life!!

Oddjob:
Goes against what we were taught. What’s this clearance come from between tang and the float needle.

Bryanj:
No idea why they show the clearance Ken, was first page from Common Tools list out of Blue Book, but it does say "New" so perhaps why no 500/550/750 sohc

Laverda Dave:
Thanks for posting Bryan.
I'm confused by the clearance though, I've always measured the float height with the tip of the needle just touching the float tang. The picture shows the carb resting upside down so this would allow the tang to push down on the needle. Where does the clearance come from and what should the clearance measurement actually be?
I know you didn't write the manual and I'm not having a go, I'm just confused about the clearance 🤔
