I tell you, if there is a way to adjust those floats, or their level, I didn't see a way. The entire body of the float is plastic, not exactly an adjustable type of material if you know what I mean. As for how it's attached, it has a pivot shaft that goes through the float (seen at the very top of photo) and slides through 2 posts. The height of the posts are not adjustable, and the only other attachment point is where it hooks to the Float Valve, and that part is not adjustable either. I didn't attempt to make any adjustments to the carburetor while it was apart. I put everything back in exactly the same way it came out (minus the dirt and grime naturally).

I meant to add a photo of where I left the hoses for future sync jobs. I'll edit the post and add the additional photo if I can. If not, I'll add here.

Thanks for the complement.

Well, it looks like 5 is the limit for here, so I'm including the following photo here. The is where I've left the vacuum extensions that I attached to each of the ports on the intake manifold. I've temporarily placed an adapter that came with my Carbtune in place of the screw that plugs port #4. I'll replace it later with one like on port 1-3. Each hose has a plug on it with a white adapter piece in the end of it. There is a blue tie wrap holding them all together so they don't fall down below the carbs. The last photo shows the white "T" adapter I installed in the vacuum line that goes from port #1 to the petcock vacuum actuator on the fuel valve. This way I don't need to worry about manually attaching some kind of tool to generate a vacuum so the fuel flows.

I also gave some thought to attaching tubing like you did so I can just hook the gauge up and go. But alas I was lazy and wanted to get out and ride, so I didn't. Next time I do a sync I'll install the tubing.
Thanks for the pictures, they're worth and thousand words!
