Billy,
I have heard and read lots about this and like me using a Honda gauge as you can see from your link photos its impossible to get the tool LEG in between the ridge of the carb and float making the measurement from gasket surface real hard to do if again impossible using the Honda gauge.Conclusion if its good enough for Honda then that's the way.I have done mine that way and she runs fine.
Cheers
