Thank you very much for looking that up! That is very strange though. It has a tang for the needle valve. Hmm, oh well. If that's what the manual says then so be it

This is what my '86-'88 Kawasaki manual says.

If you don't want to buy their special tool, this is from Mikuni

Adjust the float level by bending the tang in contact with the needle and seat as you said.
