Different carbs, but you get the idea. About 40 minutes work, cost pennies using whatever I had laying around :)

The Honda OEM float setting tool made this pretty easy for me....

Does it come from your Honda dealer? How much was it? Do you have a part number?

You CAN get a dial or digital caliper for this kind of money.  You'll get many more uses out of it, including setting float heights.
The OEM honda part number is in the title of this listing
