Remove the float bowl, flip the carbs upside down, and lean them until the float needle just touches the valve seat. Measure the height of the float above the carb body.

Alternatively, you can attach some thin vinyl tubing to the carb drain port, bend it upwards, and open the drain valve. The height of the fuel should typically be at about at about the level of the gasket between the float bowl and the carb body.
