I haven't had to adjust the floats yet on my bike, have done it years ago on cars though, but am I picking up a hint sarcasm from you lucky

[Bailgang]

Oh no not so fast Lucky, I reserve the right to ask questions that have already been asked and answered a hundred times before and aggravate the hell out of everyone. 

But I can't this time because I've already gotten one of those float gauges and I too think it's a must have tool.

I'm not a cheap@$$, but $22 is crazy!
Your unnecessary gym or country club card cut to your exact  float height is free 

[City Boy]

Thats a very good price for a very handy tool.I have had one since early seventies and would endorse it completely.No joking!

Oh that's nothing, when I got mine there was another that looked absolutely identical but labeled a different brand and it cost 2 or 3 times as much. The sites selling those were the ones that were crazy.

must have been sandcast float gauges

Lucky comes through for all you that don't have one or a country club card. Add it to your tool box. It looks cooler than a country club card that is cut up and saying I can't afford the dues BUT I now have a carb float tool.

[rosengjo]

This and a carb sync tool were the first things I bought for my bike.

Me too.   I bought the Honda service tool back then, don't remember how much but it sure is handy and when one is using it constantly it is a must have tool for the trade. My .66....Larry

How about if someone creates a PDF template?  Sounds like a good use for one of the wife's many credit cards.

Will that tool fit in between the carbs when they are still mounted on the rack ? Guess I am still in the stone age using one of these pocket models.

I also use the 6” sliding pocket ruler.

Yes Ekpent,the tool fits on the complete assembly.

Thanks good to know. The advantage to one of the real gauges as Lucky pointed out would be to see if the floats have a tilt to them. I have seen different heights at the ends of the floats due to a twist in the float assembly.

 The quality control isn't very good, usually the scale is 0.5~1.0mm 'off' (I've checked  50~60 from K&L, maybe more in 10~11 yrs?)
You need a caliper to set the float gauge (I use accurate vernier caliper but the cheap electronic ones are OK)

That's what I use, never owned or needed the float height 'gauge'

I bought a chain breaker for $25 when I was 16 year old.
I am still using it. At least 50 years later and they are still made the same, and cost the same ! Hell of a deal.

+1, I use either a vernier or a depth mic which ever is handy at the time.
