Float Height

Hi everyone, I'm getting really frustrated as I can't find the diagram showing the correct way to measure the float height. I'm sure I've seen a diagram of this on this site...If anyone could give a verbal description that would be great. I assume its just the length from the top of the floats to the flange face, but not sure if the carbs should be upright or upside down (i.e. floats hanging down).

Ok they look like they are set right. Only thing is the needle only loosely holds onto the 'tang' of the float on my carbs, i.e. there is a delay between the spring-loaded pin being fully protruded and the entire needle being lifted as you move the float up. Hope this makes sense. Is the needle supposed to be tightly held to the tang?

Nope. The needle needs room to move as the floats descibe an arc as they move.
