Stand the carb upside-down (as pictured below) on a desk or similar and use a steel rule to measure the distance X in the diagram. Place the end of the rule in the red rectangle, take measurement from the side as arrowed. Should they need adjusting, bend the small tab circled, being very careful not to break it.

(Pictured from above)

EDIT: Picture added ( the picture is angled and the float is actually set at 21mm)

Just remember when checking to make sure that the adjusting tang of the float (item A in first diagram) is JUST touching the tip of the needle valve (item B) as it is spring loaded and if you let the floats rest under their own weight you will get a false reading .Tony

The weight of the floats is not enough to compress the spring in the valve, providing the spring is not broken.
