Triumph gives no float height measurement but allows a pretty large variance in fuel depth with their 1.5mm +/- 1mm value, so the difference between Haynes and FP seems pretty reasonable overall.

I have not disassembled the carbs yet and I prefer to collect information before do it.
If 1.5mm above joint is equivalent at 14.5mm (OEM setting) THEN the 1.5mm below joint should be equivalent at 17.5 mm (FP setting).
Is it correct ?
The Service manual measurement gave me another info: the gas float level is below Factory Pro setting.

(Raising the float height lowers the fuel level in the bowls and leans out the mixture.)

I have no idea about which kind of jet are installed, I have bought a pre-owned bike.
For sure, some modification was made, at least the the gas float level was modified.
Before disassembling the carbs, I need some criteria for recognizing the OEM parts.
As I understand, I can recognize the OEM needles because they have no notches for tuning.
Is it correct ?
The main jets should have 98 printed on them.
The pilot jets should have 38 printed on them.
Is it correct ?
