To answer your question, or not, sorry, but I don't know. I have never done that before.

Since this is a subforum for website updates, I'm moving this to the "General Q&A" subforum.

Thanks for the reply , maybe someone doing a carb rebuild could do a quick measurement would be really helpful

Should be flush, but doesn’t matter really. You can always adjust the float tab to get the proper level in the bowl.
