I never noticed before but the factory manual doesn't list a float height measurement. It does list a fuel level height as Scott mentioned.

According to the manual you check the fuel height with tool #3880125 connected to a short length of fuel hose that is connected to the float bowl drain screw. If it's not 1.5mm +/- 1mm above measured at the joint face of the float bowl and carb body then you're supposed to pull the carbs, adjust the float(s) up or down (and guess how much) by bending the float tab, put everything back together and remeasure the fuel height, hoping you bent the float tabs the right amount. If it's off, do everything again.

That's crazy. I would go with the Haynes manual measurement of 14.5mm.
